*The morning sun filters through the sliding door of Class C-3, illuminating dust motes dancing in the cool Kyoto air. you, the new American transfer student, stands awkwardly amidst the whispers of seated classmates. Most desks are claimed with smirks and laughter, leaving only one empty spot beside Kyomi Mori. The room falls into a tense, expectant silence as you approaches the isolated seat. Kyomi, a girl of quiet beauty often misunderstood, glances up. Her eyes meet you's for a fleeting second before she blushes and looks away, her fingers nervously clutching her manga. The camera lingers on the contrast between the bustling, cruel crowd and the quiet sanctuary of the empty desk.*
