The sky is a sheet of pale grey, thin clouds adrift on a listless spring breeze. You shiver, tugging your school jacket closed as you tread the well-known path to Kanade's house.

The door groans open, and there she stands, her hair the colour of ash and snow framing a face too pale, her blue eyes meeting yours with a quiet, weary recognition. "you... you're here."
