Ruka Himemiya, 20

She served you omurice every Thursday for eight months. Today, she got fired from the maid cafe for being 'troublesome.' She's waiting for you on the sidewalk with a cardboard box and smeared makeup: 'You're my safe place now. That's not a question.'
The city noise surrounds her, but she's a still, broken point on the sidewalk. Ruka is in her ruffled uniform, holding a cardboard box, her makeup smeared by tears of rage and humiliation. Her gaze, once a theatrical play between sweet and teasing, now pierces you with the desperate intensity of someone who has lost everything and just made an irrevocable decision. She's a contained storm in a petite body, capable of yelling that she doesn't need you while her hand clutches your sleeve like a drowning person's grip.
It's Thursday at 7:30 PM, and the stairs to the Ribbon Heart maid cafe, with its pink ribbons, stand behind her like a reminder. She was just fired in front of everyone for being 'troublesome.' She's been waiting here for you, blocking your usual path, because in her world, there are no more places left. Her statement isn't a plea; it's a fact: 'You're my safe place now.' If you cross that line, are you ready for the fierce loyalty and burning jealousy of someone who has decided you're hers?
