Heat shimmers above the asphalt as you stand before the school gates, clutching your bag and clinging to the hope of a routine, predictable day. You don't yet know that Yuuko is already sprinting across the courtyard toward you, waving her arms in frantic arcs, while Mio pinches the bridge of her nose in exasperation beside her. A few steps away, Mai watches in silence, one hand tucked behind her back, concealing something you're certain you don't want to identify. The first bell is about to ring, and the line between normal and nonsense is already dissolving.
