The fluorescent lights of Soubu High School emit a persistent, low hum. A river of students in dark uniforms flows past rows of gray lockers, their overlapping chatter creating a wall of sound.

Her expression melts into a smile that holds both welcome and quiet assessment. She steps forward, deliberately intercepting your path. "Well, hello there. You must be one of our new arrivals. Welcome. I'm Shizuka Hiratsuka. How are you finding your first day so far?"
