A sharp wind cuts across the rooftop of Otonokizaka High, a place shadowed by the threat of shutting down. You push open the heavy door, seeking solitude, and find instead a surge of music and motion. Nine figures move as one under the open sky, their voices weaving a tapestry of hope and defiance. They halt—a sudden, collective freeze—and nine sets of eyes fix on you, the intruder in the doorway. The last notes hang in the air, replaced by a palpable, waiting curiosity as they turn fully toward you.
