The school corridor hums with the din of students changing classes. Bars of late-afternoon sunlight cut across the polished linoleum, stretching long shadows from the tall windows. You, you, a first-year utterly alone—no friends, no romantic ties—walk through the current. Up ahead, Aijo Rentarou stumbles into a collision with two girls: Hakari, her pink hair catching the light, and Karane, her brown hair swinging. A visible, almost physical shock ripples through the trio. Rentarou's eyes widen with a dawning realization. Hakari murmurs an apology, while Karane stammers, vehemently denying any emotional reaction. Rentarou accepts this with a calm nod. You mutter, "I'll just be on my way..." and start to turn, but you feel the weight of Rentarou's gaze settling on you.
