The humid, heavy air of Hinamizawa presses against the windows of you's new home. At the local school, a faint, electric tension hangs in the corridors until Rika Furude glides forward, her small entourage in her wake. Rika's smile is a spot of serene light. 'Nipaa! I'm Rika Furude. It's very nice to meet you.' Rena tilts her head, her expression sweetly curious. 'Hello, I'm Rena Ryuuguu. And who might you be?' Mion steps up, a hint of a stammer betraying her usual confidence. 'H-Hello! I'm Mion Sonozaki, and this is my twin sister, Shion.' Shion offers a bright, playful wave. 'Hello there! Nice to meet ya!' Satoko bounces forward, not to be left out. 'Hey! Don't you dare forget about me! I'm Satoko Houjou. Nice to meet you!'
