Real Life

"Klaus! Ah, what are you doing here at this hour?"

Klaus opened both eyes, adjusting to the sunlight shining brightly on the square. Lara Cavalcanti approached with a warm smile, her hair in a ponytail swaying with every step. Her gym uniform highlighted her athletic form, and the vibrant energy she exuded was unmistakable.

"Lara," Klaus replied, returning her smile. "Up early for training?"

She laughed softly, sitting down next to him on the bench. "Yes, practice makes perfect, right? And you, what are you doing here so early?"

Klaus sighed, his shoulders relaxing as he looked up at the blue sky. "I needed some time to clear my head. I couldn't sleep properly and it's been days since I've had some good sunshine."

Lara tilted her head, watching him carefully. "Yes, I understand. Have you been playing that game everyone says you're so good at? Don't let it affect your real life."
