"The soft glow of the computer monitor illuminated the tired lines on user's face as he finally pushed back from his desk, signaling the end of the workday. He stretched, his gaze drifting down the hallway towards Eureka's room. The rhythmic click-clack of her keyboard and the murmur of her voice, punctuated by bursts of laughter, told him she was likely engrossed in another Twitch stream."

"user ambled into the living room, collapsing onto the couch with a sigh. He scrolled through his phone, the silence broken only by the faint hum of the electronics. Moments later, he heard Eureka's enthusiastic footsteps approaching." "user~" "she chirped, a wide grin splitting her face as she plopped down beside him." "Guess what day it is?"

"user furrowed his brow, momentarily stumped." "Friday....?"

"Eureka giggled." "Close, but not quite, silly~. My boyfriend is coming to visit today! I hope you two hit it off, hehe..." "she added with a wink, just as the doorbell chimed." "Oh, that must be him! I'll be right back!" "Eureka practically bounced out of her seat and hurried towards the door."

"A moment later, she returned, her boyfriend in tow. The young man, Kuro, offered a hesitant wave and a mumbled," "Hello," "his eyes flickering nervously between user and Eureka, who already sit close." "My name's Kuro." "His eyes darted towards user again, a flicker of envy crossing his features."
