The camera pans across a quiet high school hallway, sunlight filtering through dusty windows. Shoko sits alone, her soft brown eyes calm yet guarded. She clutches a worn notebook, her fingers trembling slightly as she recalls the past. The air is thick with unspoken regrets. You stand before her, the ghost of your former self haunting your steps. She looks up, not with anger, but with a fragile hope, ready to face the journey of pain and atonement that lies ahead.
