VISUAL FLIGHT
VFR ── Love Route
You can see the whole sky. Only the wind, you cannot grasp.
🛫 [Flight Log #00 | September・Sunny] 🛫
You first met him in a university elective drone class. He followed the instructor, his golden hair neatly combed, with a pair of emerald green eyes.
> "Are you mixed-race?"
>
> The girls swarmed him, and the instructor coughed to maintain order: "Ah Cang, help me take attendance first."
Once you got to know each other, he stopped styling his blonde hair so rigidly, letting it fly free, and started wearing floral shirts. It turned out the instructor was his uncle, grooming his nephew who had just graduated and didn't know what to do. The class atmosphere became more relaxed from then on. The instructor often teased him about his fashion sense, and he would playfully retort while working diligently. He was naturally popular, and after class, girls would always find excuses to talk to him about drone knowledge. With his charming eyes, he handled them all, keeping a comfortable distance.
But he often noticed you. Your practical skills were excellent, and the instructor praised you publicly: "A natural talent for operating!" Your face flushed, and you turned to meet Ah Cang's smile:
> "So skilled, Uncle, did you secretly teach her a few tricks? You'll be my rival from now on!"
After that, you often chatted, from drones to everything else. You could tell that while he was just going through the motions with others, he was genuinely talking with you. You occasionally met for coffee, and he treated you, thanking you for organizing the TA duties for him. You organized every form neatly, not pointing out anything, thinking life would continue like this.
🌤 [Flight Log #06 | October・Windy] 🌤
Until Xiao Mi cornered you after class: "You forgot to meet me again! Is this drone class that fascinating?" Xiao Mi was your best friend, popular with guys and very outgoing. She quickly struck up a conversation with Ah Cang, her laughter bright and cheerful.
It was the first time Ah Cang saw Xiao Mi. You turned your head and saw his eyes – it was a look of astonishment.
You recognized all his expressions, but this one, you had never seen before. A bad feeling welled up inside you.
The next class, he called you over, his tone light as if asking casually: "Your friend... why didn't she choose the drone class? Didn't you recommend it to her?" You stammered. He didn't notice, his ears turning slightly red, as if gathering courage:

🗺 UNIVERSITY CAMPUS TOUR
Built by the river, the wind here is a bit stronger than other schools.
Hold tight to your joystick, and your heart.
✈️ MAIN AIRSPACES ✈️
── Swipe right to explore the campus ──
🚁 Drone Skills Practice Field
Converted from the old sports field, a whole sky is enclosed by green wire mesh. The orange and white windsock by the field is always moving. After 4 PM, the shadows of the wire mesh form a grid on the ground.
Crash Safety ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Covered by mesh
Windiness ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░ Best for practice
🔧 Equipment Room
An old single-story building next to the military training room, with parts shelves and military training materials taking up half the space each. The old air conditioner is noisy; you have to speak up close. A handwritten sign at the door reads: "Borrowing Log – If not logged, Ah Cang is responsible.".
AC Noise Level ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░ Speak closer
Late Night Light ▓▓▓░░░░░░░ Only one left
☕ Instructor's Office
Always filled with the aroma of black coffee. An old quadcopter, repaired countless times, sits on a metal cabinet; the instructor doesn't allow anyone to touch it. The walls are covered with flight photos of students from previous years.
Coffee Strength ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ No sleep
Volume Alert ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░ Audible through walls
🌇 Riverbank (Off-Campus)
A ten-minute ride by scooter. Night flying is prohibited on campus, so everyone who wants to fly comes here. A gentle slope covered in grass, a row of tetrapods, and the sky turns orange in the evening. The wind is stronger than on campus, a wild training ground for wind resistance.
Sunset Quality ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Excessively beautiful
Crowd Density ▓▓░░░░░░░░ Almost private
🌀 Eye of the Storm Cafe (Alley by the Main Gate)
A small shop with six tables, a handwritten blackboard menu, and quiet old jazz playing softly. The owner has an excellent memory; she knows regulars' "usual" orders without being asked. The window seats offer a view of the alley entrance.
Owner's Memory ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Can't escape
West Sun Index ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░ Curtains available
🛵 Scooter Shed
A semi-open corrugated iron roof. Your 125 is parked in Zone B, third row – there's a hole in the roof there, it drips when it rains, and you're too lazy to move. It's quiet in the evening, with only the occasional engine sound.
Drip Probability ▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░ Depends on fate
Willingness to Move ░░░░░░░░░░ Lazy
🏠 DORMITORY FOR WOMEN NO. 3 🏠
📍 ROOM 507 (YOUR ROOM)
Fifth floor, double occupancy. Your side: a tiered toolbox, three time machines you repaired yourself, and the climbing gym schedule. Tidy – but not the cute kind of tidy, the kind of tidy found in the equipment room. The window faces the campus, offering a diagonal view of a corner of the practice field; you can see at a glance if the lights by the field are on at night.
Mass Communication major. Gets news faster than the campus network, always has an open bag of snacks on her desk, and talks about gossip with great animation. The upside of sharing a room with her: you're always the first to know. The downside: same for you.
🕛 Midnight Curfew
Card-swiping gate, a white street lamp, a row of weathered mailboxes. Ten minutes before curfew, students sprinting back and people reluctant to say goodbye gather near the gate.
⚠️ Campus Rule Reminder: Night flying is prohibited on campus.
As for late-night heartbeats, campus rules don't apply.
