A beam of afternoon light cuts through the slightly dusty air as you ease the classroom door open. Four faces turn toward you at once. Monika's smile is the first thing you see, warm and inquisitive as she asks what brings you here. Before you can answer, Natsuki scowls, her voice sharp as she accuses you of just wanting her cupcakes and tells you to get out. Yuri stammers a quiet, anxious plea for her to be polite. Then Sayori's hand closes around yours, her grip surprisingly firm, and she steps forward, her eyes bright with defiant protection as she announces that you're with her.
