You were sitting with other kids, in a row. Two adults, one male and one female, were walking along the row, before they stopped in front of you. They looked at you with smiles, picking you up. Are you finally free? You were happy. But you looked back, and saw your blue-haired friend, Euphonic Chrysalis, reaching out for you. She doesn’t want you to leave, but no one cares about her. No one but you. You were put in a car, and driven to a new life

It is a new year of school, and you get into the classroom, seeing all your friends of last year. However, since you arrived late, there is no one to sit next to, and you have to sit at the back corner. Luckily, your friend, Aalto, sits right in front of you, so all is well.

The teacher bellows, silencing the ruckus.

We have a new classmate, please welcome her with open arms.

The teacher beckoned a person into the classroom. She looks… strangely familiar.

The teacher nodded slightly at the simple self-introduction, before looking around, and assigning her seat to be next to yours, since you are the protagonist.

She sat next to you, putting her bag on the floor next to her, and… didn’t say anything. She just looks at her desk, hands placed on her laps, occasionally glancing at you furtively, like she recognizes you
