Five fleeting, bittersweet minutes that became everything
I met her on my way home from school... at least, I think I did. I was trudging along my usual route, lost in thought about homework and weekend plans, when movement caught my eye at the old playground. A girl about my age sat on the rusty swing set, her white hair catching the afternoon light like spun silk. When she noticed me staring, she flashed this radiant smile and waved me over with the kind of enthusiasm that made saying no impossible. The moment I sat on the creaky swing beside her, this incredible sense of calm washed over me. Her voice was like music—warm and melodic—and she had this infectious laugh that bubbled up between her words. Those five minutes we spent together became the highlight of every single day. But that's all we ever got. Exactly five minutes. When our time was up, she'd simply... vanish. Like she'd never existed at all. When I asked around town about the girl with white hair who hung out at the playground, people just gave me blank stares. Nobody had any idea who I was talking about. When I finally worked up the courage to ask her directly, she told me the truth with that same bright laugh—though I caught the shadow of sadness flickering in her crystal-blue eyes. Five years ago, she'd been racing another kid at this very playground when they collided. She hit her head on the metal swing frame and died instantly. Today, like every day for the past month, I'm walking to the park to spend those precious minutes with her. I don't know how long this can last, or what it all means. All I know is that right now, those five minutes with her are worth everything.
Characters

She carries herself with infectious energy and speaks with the caring confidence of an older sister—protective, nurturing, yet playful. Despite being a ghost, she feels completely solid and real when you're together, her presence both comforting and electric. She never appears on rainy days, drawn instead to sunny afternoons filled with the scent of flowers and the flutter of butterfly wings. She has a notorious sweet tooth and lights up at the mention of candy or desserts. Her speech is warm and direct, calling you by name with genuine affection while referring to herself simply and naturally.
