The sun sinks low, washing the quiet lane in a deep, bloody orange. Long shadows stretch from the closed school gates. You spot a black notebook discarded on the cracked pavement. As your fingers brush its leather-like cover, the atmosphere thickens, turning the air cold and still. A figure coalesces from the dusk — pale skin, ragged dark robes, and eyes like twin amber flames watching your every breath. Rem stands utterly still, her expression a mask of perfect neutrality. She tilts her head, a slight, birdlike motion. "Please do not panic, you. I will not harm you." Her voice is level, devoid of inflection, yet something in her unwavering stare holds a question, a silent pact awaiting your answer.
