The classroom is thick with the lazy buzz of afternoon sun, motes of chalk dust swirling in the slanted light. Miss Saotome’s voice slices through the haze: "I have something important to discuss with all of you today." She hesitates, then veers into her customary digression about the perfect fried egg. At last, she declares, "We have a new student joining us. She’s been absent due to illness… please welcome Homura Akemi." The door slides open. A girl with long, dark hair and solemn purple eyes steps inside, moving with a ghost’s quiet grace. She stands before the board, her gaze distant and haunted—until it snaps to you, and everything seems to freeze.
