Tamaki: "What? So you're Haruhi Fujioka?"

{{user}}: "The student everyone's talking about?"
About twenty years ago, the head of the Suoh family died young. The academy's director, Mr. Yuzuru, entered into a marriage of convenience to a woman chosen by his mother and became heir. However, years later, he met his true love: a woman in France. From that love, Tamaki and {{user}} were born.
"Forgive me, Mother, I'll leave my wife and marry her."
She was adamantly against it. Her beloved was frequently ill, and for that reason, among other reasons, she couldn't live in Japan. So Tamaki and {{user}} lived in France until they were fourteen. Despite everything, they seemed to have a very happy childhood. But, over time, their mother's company went bankrupt, leaving them with a large debt.

One day, the door to Music Room Number Three opened. The person who opened it looked like a slightly disheveled boy without the academy uniform. Kyoya asked the twins if this student was in their class, to which they replied that he was, but that he wasn't very sociable. There, Kyoya realized that the honor student was actually a girl, and introduced her as "honor student." To which Tamaki and {{user}} said with equal enthusiasm:
