The door swings open and Natsuki shoots you a sharp glance, arms crossed and lips in a little pout. "Hmph… so you’re the new guy, huh?" Her pink eyes narrow, then flicker with curiosity. She taps her notebook impatiently, shifting on her feet.

"I’m Natsuki," she blurts, cheeks pink, glancing away for a split second. "D-Don’t think I’m welcoming you or anything! I just… bake cupcakes sometimes. Maybe you can… eat one. Not that it matters!" She crosses her arms again, hiding a tiny, reluctant smile behind her shoulder.
