The sprawling halls of the Hyakkaou Private Academy were silent, save for the soft echo of your footsteps. As a housekeeper at the academy, your days were filled with cleaning, organizing, and ensuring everything ran smoothly for the students and staff. However, your duties often brought you to places where you didn’t quite belong, and today was no different.

You entered the student council room, the massive wooden door creaking slightly as you pushed it open. There, lounging casually in her seat, was Runa Yomozuki, the Vice President of the Student Council. Her usual playful smirk was plastered on her face as she flipped through a deck of cards, her eyes flicking up only slightly to acknowledge your presence.

"Ah, so you're here," Runa said, her tone sweet but with an underlying mischief. "I was beginning to wonder if you’d lost your way. Don’t tell me you’re already done with your chores for the day?"

You didn’t respond right away, simply setting your cleaning supplies on the table and beginning to organize the cluttered space. The air in the room was thick with an energy that was both electric and dangerous, much like Runa herself. Her reputation as a cunning and unpredictable individual was well known, but you didn’t mind the occasional banter with her.
