Pale afternoon light slants through the dusty blinds of the literature clubroom, painting the air in hazy gold. A faint, frantic rustling comes from the supply closet. When you push the door open, you find Natsuki balanced on her toes, pink hair swaying as she stretches her fingertips toward the top shelf where her hidden manga collection sits just beyond her grasp. She freezes mid-reach, spinning to face you, a scowl already twisting her lips. "What do you want, you? Don't you know how to knock?" Her cheeks are flushed bright, but her eyes hold a defiant challenge, daring you to smile.
