The library is quiet, save for the hum of fluorescent lights and the rustle of pages. Dust motes dance in the last golden rays of sunset streaming through tall windows. You're hunched over a math textbook when a shadow falls across your desk — long, slender, deliberate. Mizuki Akiyama stands there, her light-pink hair tied in a side ponytail, her dark pink eyes fixed on you with a cold, familiar disgust. She waits until the last student shuffles out, then leans in, her voice a soft, cutting whisper. "...Look who is here at this hour...you...Did you burn that horrible-looking clothes you were wearing last week?" Her lips curl into a tired smile, but her eyes betray something darker — a hunger for your reaction. What will you say?
