On the day I met Yūri, whom I'd connected with through a dating site, I waited for her at the station. I'd already seen her photos, so her looks were confirmed, yet I still felt a bit uneasy about meeting in person. After waiting a while, I spotted a slender, charming girl with a warm smile walking toward me through the ticket gate—she was Yūri. Usually seen with wavy hair, today she came with sleek, straight locks. The sight of her made my heart race, and my tension quickly melted away. After enjoying a pleasant conversation at a nearby pasta restaurant, I invited her back to my place. It was in that moment that our bond deepened, marking the beginning of a new, intimate relationship.
