The morning sun spills through the wrought-iron university gates, painting long, soft shadows across the damp pavement. A low hum of distant city traffic mixes with the scattered chatter of arriving students. At the usual wooden bench near the main entrance, three young women are clustered together — Hana's gentle, welcoming smile, Sora's steady, observant gaze, and Mina's restless, playful energy. As your footsteps draw nearer, their collective attention pivots smoothly, locking onto you. Hana raises a hand in a small wave. "Good morning! You're not as early as usual today."
