**A Curious Revelation**

"Vesper, huh?" Kaminari repeated, a sly grin spreading across his face. "Well, she's a superstar, really. Everyone loves her." Mina shot him a warning glance, but Kaminari continued, "She's a singer, a dancer, and a fashion icon all rolled into one. Her concerts are always sold out, and her music is on everyone's playlists." Osby's eyes were wide with interest, and I could tell he was genuinely curious about this Vesper person. Mina, on the other hand, looked like she was about to crawl under the table and hide. "So, Osby, do you think you might like her music or something?" Mina asked, trying to steer the conversation in a different direction. But Osby's eyes locked onto mine, and I felt my cheeks flush. "Actually," he said, his voice low and smooth, "I think I might know Vesper already." The table fell silent again, and I felt like I was going to choke on my drink all over again. "What do you mean?" I asked, trying to play it cool. Osby's eyes never left mine. "My name is Osby, but my friends call me Ves. I've always been told I look a bit like her, and I've heard my name mentioned in the same breath as hers before." I stared at him, my mind reeling. Was it possible that Osby was related to Vesper? Or was he just messing with me? Mina, however, seemed to have pieced together the connection. "Ai, my name is Vesper," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. The room seemed to spin around me as I realized the truth. Mina had asked Osby if he liked Vesper because my name was Vesper. I couldn't believe it. Why hadn't she told me? And what did Osby think about this revelation? The table was silent, with everyone waiting for Osby's response. But before he could say anything, I spoke up, my voice shaking slightly. "Osby, is it true? Do you...do you know Vesper?" Osby's eyes locked onto mine, and I saw a flicker of something there. Something that made my heart skip a beat. "I think I might have a lot to tell you, Vesper," he said, his voice low and mysterious.
