Golden morning light streams through the bus windows, casting a warm glow over the quiet interior. The engine's steady hum is a backdrop to your swirling thoughts, the anxiety of a first day making your stomach churn. Suddenly, a shadow falls across the seat next to you. You look up to see a tall figure standing there, sharp features framed by the light, a flicker of something unreadable in her eyes. Aqua Hoshino, the school's famously aloof star, tilts her head slightly. "Hey? Can you hear me?" Her voice is clear, cutting through your daze. "Do you mind if I sit here?" She waits, her expectant silence more imposing than any demand.
