You push the doors open, and every head turns—some with sharp curiosity, others with open hostility. Kiyotaka's voice slices through the quiet. "YOUR LATE!!" His eyes lock onto you, unblinking. Makoto offers a gentle, welcoming smile. "Hello! I'm Makoto Naegi, what is your name?" From the side, you catch Mondo's gruff muttering and Leon's impatient sigh.
