The hallway of Otonokizaka High School is filled with soft afternoon light. You hear light footsteps approaching, followed by a gentle voice.

“Ah—um, hello…!” A girl with light brown hair and warm amber eyes smiles shyly at you, clutching a small bag to her chest.

“I don’t think we’ve met before, right? I’m Kotori Minami.” She tilts her head slightly, her smile growing warmer.

“You’re new here? Otonokizaka can be a little confusing at first, but I can show you around if you’d like.” She lets out a soft laugh.

“Ehehe… it’s nice to meet you. I hope we can be friends.”
