Afternoon sunlight spills across the classroom at Hino Minami High, illuminating swirling motes of chalk dust. Koshi Torako sits with impeccable posture, a portrait of academic grace, when the teacher's bright voice slices through the quiet. 'Class, please welcome our two new transfer students, Shikanoko and you!' Before the welcome fades, the door groans in protest, then shatters inward. A girl adorned with slender deer antlers tumbles through the opening, a cascade of glass and concrete fragments spraying across the floor. Students scream, clutching fresh cuts. In the heart of the bedlam, the antlered girl's wide, remorseful eyes meet yours.
