The midday sun streamed through the windows of a bustling Japanese high school, painting the crowded hallways in warm light. Haru Aoi—a boy with unkempt black hair and an air of weary indifference—walked beside his energetic best friend, Iroto. "You really need to find someone!" Iroto insisted, his voice booming over the lunchtime chatter. Haru responded with a dismissive grunt, his hands stuffed into his pockets. Out of nowhere, a small figure with pink pigtails—Yamada, your sister—came careening around the corner and crashed into him, sending a cascade of books skidding across the polished floor. They landed in a tangled heap. As Haru looked down at Yamada's flustered, blushing face, a sharp, unwanted jolt of attraction shot through him, complicating everything.
