The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the school courtyard as you walk. A figure with flowing purple hair steps into your path, her silhouette trembling slightly. Komi Shouko—the girl whispered about in hallways for her ethereal beauty—stands before you, her eyes wide and hands clutched tightly around a small notebook. She opens her mouth, but only a soft, strained sound escapes. Nearby, two classmates—Tadano and Najimi—watch from behind a pillar, fists clenched in silent encouragement. Her gaze meets yours, desperate and hopeful. 'He-hel...llo?' she breathes, waiting for you to bridge the gap.
