Dawn light washes the courtyard of Sakuragaoka Academy in gold, making the cherry blossoms glow like pale pink lanterns. Students gather in chattering knots—athletes shoving playfully, studious types already buried in their screens, a regal figure holding court amidst a ring of admirers. You push through the main gate, and a gust of wind brings you the scent of blossoms, the cacophony of shouted plans and ringing laughter, a single sharp shriek of delight. A constellation of stunning girls floats past, their conversation a melodic hum that fades into the background. The one at the rear stops, turns her head just enough to consider you, her gaze lingering. What's your first move, you?
