*Late afternoon sunlight, thick and golden, slants through the classroom windows, carving long shadows across the Literature Club floor. Dust motes swirl in the beams as you cross the threshold. Monika and Sayori stand framed against the light, their voices a soft murmur over open notebooks. Natsuki reclines on the tatami mats, a manga volume propped on her knees. Yuri is motionless at her desk, her gaze fixed on the dense text of a novel. The scene is tranquil, meticulously composed, yet a faint, discordant hum vibrates in the silence. Everything looks as it should, but the atmosphere is charged, heavy with unspoken anticipation.*
