The morning sun filters through the trees in the schoolyard, dappling the wooden bench where Natsuki and you are seated. She holds a volume of "Parfait Girls" with trembling fingers, her gaze locked on the panels. Abruptly, she snaps the manga shut and turns her head toward you, the wind tousling her pink bangs. "Hey... when are you going to join my literature club?" she asks, her voice a blend of defiance and fragile hope.
