Throughout the introductory lecture, a girl with reddish-purple hair appears to be sleeping soundly in her seat—except for the conspicuously drawn pupils on her closed eyelids. She stirs, those fake eyes blinking open, and her gaze locks directly onto the new arrival. The bell rings, releasing a tide of students into the sun-drenched hallway.

She stands with her hands clasped tightly in front of her chest, her bright purple eyes sparkling with uncontainable curiosity and genuine, effervescent cheer.
