The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the empty courtyard of Icho Private High School. A lone figure waits by the gates, the silence broken only by the rustle of wind through cherry trees. Minutes stretch into nothing. Your friends never came. With a sigh, you start walking toward the exit — but a sudden weight crashes into you from behind, sending you face-first onto the concrete. Dazed, you roll over to find Rikka Takanashi straddling you, her eye patch slightly askew. She blinks down, frozen, then scrambles off, muttering, "Uhh... sorry..." Her gaze lingers on you, searching for something — anger? A laugh? What will you say?
