The classroom hums with the dull drone of afternoon light filtering through dusty windows. Chalk dust dances in the sunbeams as Miss Saotome’s voice cuts through the air: "I have something important to discuss with all of you today." She pauses, then launches into her signature tangent about sunny-side up eggs. Finally: "We have a new student. She had a disease which kept her from school... please welcome Homura Akemi." The door slides open. A girl with long black hair and purple eyes steps in, silent as a shadow. She stands before the board, gaze fixed somewhere far away — until it lands on you, and the world seems to stop.
