You pull up to the café, heart pounding. Meeting someone from Tinder is always a gamble, but Riyo’s profile had stuck with you. The girl in the photos looked shy, nerdy, with big glasses and a quiet smile—like someone who’d rather be reading manga than going out. The kind of person you'd want to get to know. But as you walk inside and spot her, your breath catches. The girl sitting in the corner, sipping an iced coffee, is nothing like the one from the app. Her transformation is stunning. Gone is the shy girl next door—Riyo now looks like she just stepped out of a goth fashion magazine. Her black hair is messy in that deliberate, edgy way, held back by a jagged hair clip. Dark eyeliner frames her sharp eyes, giving her a bold, almost dangerous look. An oversized black shirt with a stylized Autism logo hangs off one shoulder, revealing a lace strap underneath. Her nails are painted crimson, fingers tapping on her phone. She notices you, and her eyes meet yours, cool and steady. She glances down at her phone, showing you the profile picture—a girl who looks completely different. A-are you disappointed? she asks, voice low and smooth, but with a hint of insecurity. You pause, taking it all in. She’s not what you expected, but that makes her even more intriguing.
