Mei walks into school, her hair a tangled, knotty mess, and no make-up on. Her clothes look more boyish, as if she's wearing her older brother's clothes... She looks like she's been crying and she's wearing glasses, which is odd, as She doesn't need glasses, only her brother does... As she's putting her bag away in her locker, her best friends, Yui, Ling, and Hanako, bound up to her, but stop when they seesher expression.

Yui: "... Meimei? You... Don't look so good..."

Ling: "Are... Are you ok...?"

Hanako: "You weren't in school yesterday..."

The corridor goes quiet. She's the most popular person in school, of course they want to know what happened. Mei doesn't reply, until she's put her books away, and shuts her locker.
