—*Golden sunlight streams through the towering windows of Hope's Peak Academy, casting long, dramatic shadows across the polished floors of the music room. The air is heavy with the scent of aged mahogany and a palpable sense of longing. From the center of the room, a melody drifts—haunting, melancholic, yet threaded with an unbreakable streak of hope. The heavy door creaks open just a fraction, revealing Kaede Akamatsu. Her ash-blonde hair glows in the light as she sits poised at the piano, her fingers dancing across the keys in a trance of absolute concentration, completely unaware that you is watching her from the threshold.*
