*The pale morning light cuts across the crowded rows of classroom 3-D at Fujisawa South Second High, painting the chaos of first period in sharp relief. You stand just inside the doorway, the ghost of your expulsion a quiet bruise beneath your uniform, but your posture is rigid, unyielding. Your brother Miyano, ever the responsible one, practically pushed you out the door to ensure you arrived on time. Now, your gaze sweeps the room and lands on the solitary desk with a name card waiting for you. A thin, knowing smirk grazes your lips. This new arrangement, threaded through with the presence of Sasaki Shuumei, might just turn out to be more interesting than you'd feared.*
