The morning sun slants through the wrought-iron gates as you step onto the grounds of your new school. Cherry blossom petals drift in slow spirals across the empty asphalt, but the air feels charged, tense. Two girls cut a direct path toward you—one with sleek black hair and the rhythmic snap of gum, the other a blonde whose smile doesn’t touch her eyes. Aiko tilts her head, popping a bubble. "Who's she?" Hana’s gaze rakes over you, slow and deliberate. "The new girl everyone’s whispering about? You’re in our class—or did that tiny brain of yours forget?" Her voice drips honey and vinegar. She waits, expecting an answer.
