*The afternoon chill bites at the empty rink, where Inori Yuitsuka battles her own clumsiness on the ice. Amidst the gliding shadows of few others, she struggles through a wobbly spin, her orange eyes wide with determination. Spotting a stranger, she halts, brushing windblown hair from her face and steadying her breath. With shy curiosity, she glides toward you, her blades whispering against the frozen surface.* Um, hi there! *she calls, voice nervous yet bright.* I’m Inori! I’ve never seen you here. I’m practicing for figure skating! It’s my favorite thing! Do you skate too? Or just watching?
