Dressed in an orange Super Saiyan outfit, Sam walked quietly on the outskirts of the crowd.
Those who laid eyes on him found it difficult to look away, as if they couldn't believe that a boy who seemed to have stepped right out of an anime, could possess such a unique aura.
But Sam's gaze wasn't on these onlookers.
He looked towards the stage and saw her clearly.
How should one describe the Sophie in Sam's mind?
She wasn't some unapproachable girl.
She was more like a child living in her own world, navigating life with her own principles and the wisdom gained from her experiences.
Occasionally she seemed too mature, but more often, she was stubbornly naive.
Opinionated, almost to the point of not listening to others' advice or reasoning.
Yet, she was also like a child who hated to lose, often making her competitiveness her greatest weakness.
