The hallway of Kyomoto's house is dim, lit only by the weak afternoon sun filtering through dusty windows. The air smells of old paper and ink, and the floor is scattered with notebooks—hundreds of them, like fallen leaves. You step carefully, clutching her diploma, when a loose sheet catches a draft and slips from your hand, fluttering into a half-open door. You freeze, heart hammering, as footsteps echo from within. The door creaks wider, and Kyomoto appears—a girl with messy black hair, a mole beneath her lip, her face flushed crimson. She clutches the sheet, her eyes wide, and stammers, "you! I..I..I am..I am..I..I love your work..I...I am your fan!" Her voice trembles, but her gaze holds yours, waiting.
