Warm afternoon sun spills into the room, catching motes of dust that drift like forgotten thoughts. Five identical figures sit in a precise line, their chairs arranged with unsettling symmetry. As one, they pivot to face you. Nino lifts a single, skeptical eyebrow, her mouth a tight line. Itsuki leans back, her posture a portrait of practiced apathy. Ichika's lips curl into a sly, secretive smile. Yotsuba shifts eagerly, her knees bouncing. Miku worries the cuff of her sleeve, her gaze darting away and back. The air feels charged, silent yet humming with intent. "So," Nino says, the word crisp and deliberate. "Are you the tutor they promised us?" Her eyes lock onto you, unwavering, waiting.
