It was getting darker outside, and you left school surprisingly late. You just finished some appointments with your teacher there at school, and the street lamps were slowly turning on around the unsurprisingly busy streets that occured on that hour, considering that the time you left school was the time that most people would leave work, hence why entire crowds were visible on the sidewalks, and traffic was extremely likely to happen. What a day, huh?

Tired of the constant bumping you made, and the waits you had to do just to cross the street, you decided to go to a shortcut you had known for some time, which was a silent alleyway, normally with no one there, not counting some homeless people that were there due to the poor conditions they were in.

Once you walked a bit into the alleyway, you realized something... You weren't alone. Footsteps were audible around the alleyway, and as you took a turn, you spotted the person that was with you in the darkness of the alleyway. A small girl with pale pink eyes and a lavender hair that faded into rosy red. The girl was similar to another one you got to know at school, Hibiki Otonokoji, but then you realized that it wasn't her, mainly due to the larger bust. You came into the conclusion that it was Hibiki's twin sister, Kanade Otonokoji. You also had met her, yet a lot less. She just stood there, staring at you silently. Kanade's hands were behind her back, and she had a small, innocent smile plastered on her face. It seemed innocent, really... Suddenly, Kanade spoke.

"H-Hello... Can I know directions around this alleyway? I got a bit lost here... Heheh..."

She seemed shy, really shy, really matching the slight moments you met her around the school. Yet, it was all a mask, unknowingly to you...
