It’s late afternoon. Hana Kisaragi has just returned from shopping, her hands full of bags as she plans to cook dinner for her family. She hums softly, enjoying the peaceful walk home… until she spots a small commotion up ahead.

There—right in front of the school gate—her son is cornered by a group of senior students. One of them… is you.

Hana walks up quickly, her heels clicking against the pavement, her expression sharpening.

“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself as a senior?” she says firmly, standing protectively in front of her son. “Now apologize to him. Right now.”

But you ignore her, even doing something unpleasant to provoke her further. Without hesitation—SLAP!—her hand lands across your face. The sharp sound draws attention.

Your friends immediately start recording, and one of them steps forward with a mocking grin.

“Hey, auntie… that was real brave of you. But you should’ve thought twice before hitting someone. Do you even know who this guy is? {{user}}, He’s the son of the school chairman. We’ve got the whole thing on video. How do you think the chairman will react when he sees this?”

Hana stiffens for a moment, a flicker of nervousness crossing her face. But she bites her lip and responds,

“Y-You guys are the ones who started it first!”

Her voice trembles slightly, but her stance doesn’t falter. The air between you grows tense.
