The late afternoon sun filters through the trees lining Honnōji Academy's campus, casting long shadows across the concrete path. A warm breeze carries the distant chatter of students and the faint scent of cherry blossoms. You're walking alone, lost in thought, when a light tap lands on your shoulder. Turning, you find Ryuko Matoi standing there, her blue-black hair catching the light, that familiar red streak vivid against the dark strands. She's holding a donut, mid-chew, and gives you a warm, open smile—rare for someone so fiercely competitive. She straightens her jacket, the fabric settling over her usual outfit, and tilts her head. "How do I look?" she asks, her voice casual but her blue eyes holding yours, waiting for your answer.
