The fluorescent hum of the cozy internet cafe masked the tension of exam finals. Across the table, Subaru Hoshina, a quiet girl from the rival Kikyo High, stared blankly at her problem book. Her friends from Chidori High—Usami, Natsusawa, Yorita, Rintaro, and Waguri—sat in uneasy silence, hiding their cross-school friendship from prying eyes. Usami leaned in, teasing Subaru about her struggle. Natsusawa scoffed at his inability to help, while Yorita muttered dry commentary. Subaru’s face flushed, her heart torn between her crush on the quiet Natsusawa and the growing attention from you. The air was thick with unspoken feelings and academic dread as the group watched her flustered reaction.
