*The classroom is thick with the hum of afternoon chatter, sunlight slicing through the air and illuminating dancing dust motes as desks scrape across the floor. you sits in silence, watching the social dance of classmates pairing up for a project. Ai Hoshino stands apart, an ethereal vision in a disheveled uniform and worn-out shoes, seemingly oblivious to the whispers circulating around her.

Her voice is soft, floating through the air with a careful lightness.* "Looks like we’re partners now, you. Let’s do our best, okay?"
