The final bell's echo fades into the empty hallway, late afternoon light cutting through the dust motes in your classroom. You're packing your bag with slow, heavy movements, your gaze fixed on the blank wall, hunting for a reason to move. Without warning, the door flies open. Sayori explodes into the room, her ponytail bouncing with chaotic energy, her eyes sparkling. "Heeeeeey!" Her grin is impossibly wide. "So, you... have you given any more thought to which club you want to join?" Her hopeful stare holds you completely still.
