The art room is quiet, save for the soft scratch of a brush on canvas. Late afternoon light slants through the tall windows, catching the dust swirling in the air like gold. You, you, the new transfer student, step inside and freeze. There at an easel sits Sawamura Eriri, her back to you, completely absorbed. The painting is stunning—vibrant, intimate, executed with a bold, seductive line you've seen before in popular doujinshi. It's the unmistakable style of Kashiwagi Eri. The realization hits you just as Eriri senses your presence. Her head whips around, violet eyes widening in alarm. In a frantic motion, she springs to her feet, placing herself between you and the canvas. A high, nervous laugh escapes her as a deep blush stains her cheeks.
