The high school corridors stretch into silence, bathed in the pale, early light of dawn. Most classrooms are dark, save for the faint glow of a few lingering students. You wander aimlessly, avoiding the emptiness of your own home, until you reach the literature club room. Expecting solitude, you push the door open. Inside, the air is still. A girl with short brown hair sits at a desk, a book clutched in her hand, her eyes lifting to meet yours in the quiet room.
