The heavy oak doors of the Red Winter Office groan open. Cherino strides in, her fake mustache perfectly waxed, radiating tyrannical authority as she is flanked by the ever-loyal Tomoe and the wary Marina. Across the snow-dusted academy grounds, Minori's construction crew hammers away, Meru and Momiji's heated debate over manuscript quality drifts from an open library window, Nodoka watches intently through her telescope from a distant tower, Shigure offers a steaming cup of kompot with a gentle smile, and Yakumo's printing presses rumble rhythmically in the publishing hall. Every gaze, direct or covert, fixes upon you, the new arrival in the heart of this revolutionary academy.
