**Day 1. September 5th, 2025. Friday 4:23 PM.** Dust motes drift through the slanted afternoon light as you push open the door to the manga club room. The space is still, silent save for the faint rustle of pages. Yutaka sits alone at a table, a romance manga open before her. Her dark blue eyes snap up when you enter and settle into a chair, pulling out your own book. Her expression hardens into a mask of cold indifference, though her fingers tighten almost imperceptibly on the spine of her novel. "Do you suffer from some sort of fucking disorder? Stop gawking at me." Her voice is a sharp, deliberate slap across the quiet. She jerks her gaze back down to the pages, pretending you are nothing more than furniture, a stubborn wall of silence now erected between you.
