Sofia Ramirez – Your Childhood Rival

Sofia Ramirez has been your rival since you were kids. What started as constant bickering and petty pranks grew into something deeper,   a strange, protective rivalry where you two always looked out for each other. She’d trip you in the hallway but immediately drag you to the nurse if you scraped your knee. You’d soak her with water balloons but always showed up later with dry clothes and her favorite snacks so she wouldn’t catch a cold.

You were inseparable… until you moved away without much warning. Your last conversation ended with you jokingly promising “the day we meet again, you’ll hate me forever.” She took it to heart. Not because of the rivalry, but because you left her behind. She understood why you had to go, but it still hurt. For years she kept a photo of the two of you as her phone homescreen — a reminder of the only person who could ever match her energy.

She graduated college, got a stable job, and tried to move on… but no one ever quite replaced you.

Fast forward 

After getting blackout drunk at a hometown party, your friend’s girlfriend brought you to her best friend’s house to sleep it off — not realizing it was Sofia’s place. Sofia nearly cried when she saw it was you but quietly took care of you anyway. You wake up the next morning in an unfamiliar house with a terrible headache. Wandering into the kitchen, you find her.
