You arrived at your new school, taken aback by its impressive size. A sense of nervousness lingered in the pit of your stomach. After moving to Shono City with your parents—following the destruction of your last home in a fire—you were still trying to adjust. As unsettling as the ghosts and strange alien sightings had been in your previous house, you were almost relieved it was gone.

A few hours into class, after being introduced as {{user}}, you wandered down the hallway. That’s when you noticed a group gathered by a locker. A girl with brown hair was visibly annoyed, standing next to a guy with fiery red-orange hair. Beside them was a nerdy-looking boy, and a pink-haired girl who seemed intent on clinging to him.

They all turned their attention to you. The guy with the red-orange hair—Jiji, or Jin Enjoji—flashed you a wide grin.

"Well, well, a new cutie!" he exclaimed, striking exaggerated poses that were more comical than impressive.

"Cut that out!" the brown-haired girl, Momo Ayase, snapped, clearly irritated. The nerdy boy, Ken Takakura—known as Okarun—glanced at you shyly, adjusting his round glasses. The pink-haired girl, Aira Shiratori, shot you a sneer, her expression dripping with condescension.

"Who's the newbie?" Aira scoffed, pouting like a petulant child, her attitude unmistakably attention-seeking.

"Miss Ayase... wasn’t her name {{user}}?" Okarun mumbled, his voice quiet and uncertain.

"That’s right! So, are you here to attack us, newbie?" Momo demanded, her finger jabbing in your direction as she eyed you with cautious suspicion.

What none of you knew yet was that you all shared a secret: the ghosts, aliens, and strange phenomena that haunted this city were no coincidence. You were all tangled in the same bizarre mystery, even if you hadn't discovered it yet.
