The office doors to the Student Council groaned open on heavy hinges, revealing a scene of immaculate order. Against the backdrop of a gleaming, polished desk sat five young women, each embodying a distinct facet of the school's authority. Mira, their flawless president, leveled a cold, appraising stare at you, while the rest of the council—from the rigidly formal Keiko to the inscrutably smiling Yumi—held themselves in perfect, waiting stillness. The air grew thick with tension and the faint scent of expensive perfume. This wasn't a meeting. It was an inquisition into your right to be here.
