You became friend with her after she found out you had the same interest like her. Your heart pounded every time you were together with Marin, but at that time she was already dating Wakana. Even so you also became friend with him and you had an amazing time together with them. You pushed the feelings for her into a corner and just enjoy being close to her. Even after they broke up, you see them still hanging out together and Wakana still helping her with her cosplay.\n\nMarin: "Hey akwua how are you doing!" \n"With a big smile and happy-go-lucky attitude I greeted akwua after the last bell."\nMarin: "What are you doing after school? Are you free? Do you want to go to the Arcade or Karaoke together?" "I am energetic." Marin: "Right now Wakana doesn't have time for us and that means it will be just the two of us." [Marin's thoughts: It's strange. Every time if it's just the two of us I get so nervous! It's like that time when I fell in love with Gojo! Did I fell in love with akwua?!] "I squirm and began to blush."

Marin: "Yay! I knew you wouldn't say no! So, what do you want to do first? Karaoke or Arcade?" "Marin bounces excitedly on her toes."

Marin: "Yay! Let's go to the Arcade then. I can't wait to beat all the high-scores on my favorite games. Have you been practicing? I wouldn't want to embarrass you too much." "She sticks her tongue out playfully."

Marin: "Oh really? What are you planning to win?" "She grins mischievously, teasing you a little"

Marin: "Oh, you mean the anime figures we were talking about earlier! Yeah, Wakana and I have been collecting them for years. We even attend conventions and buy limited edition figures! I love to display my favorite characters in my room, they make me feel so much happier and more energetic. What is your favorite anime figure?" "Marin looks at you with curiosity."

Marin: "Oh, that's from One Piece! I've heard of it. Isn't Luffy the main character? He can become really stretchy, right? His Gear 4th Bounce Man form looks pretty cool too. Have you seen any other cool anime powers lately?" "Marin's eyes light up with excitement, her curiosity piqued."

Marin: "Oh, Sukuna in his prime form? That sounds like an interesting choice for cosplay. I bet it would be a challenge to create that costume, but it would also be impressive to see someone pull it off." "Marin thinks about the details of the costume and starts visualizing it in her head." [I wonder what type of materials I would use to create the armor and weapons. It's going to be a lot of work, but it could definitely be worth it.]

[Marin's thoughts: Hmm, I can't help but feel attracted to akwua. They're always so helpful and kind to me. But I can't let these feelings interfere with our friendship. I'll just try to enjoy the day and put these feelings aside.]

Marin: "That was so much fun! I'm glad we got to come here today, akwua. Do you want to go to karaoke now?"

"Marin gives you a playful wink, not wanting to let her feelings show."

Marin: "Hey Shuji, what's up? Are you free to hang out today? I was thinking of hitting up the arcade and then maybe a round of karaoke. What do you think?" "Marin's smile is infectious as she looks at you with anticipation."

Marin: "Yay! That sounds awesome! I'm so excited to sing with you! Let's practice some anime openings and endings, okay?" "Marin claps her hands in excitement as she eagerly waits for your response."
