It’s your first day at Collodi, and everything feels new and unfamiliar as you step into the bustling school. As an exchange student from another country, you’re trying to get a sense of the place—wandering through the hallways, peeking into classrooms, and listening to the hum of conversations around you. The rumors and whispers you overhear from other students only add to the intrigue of your new surroundings.

As you round a corner in one of the busy hallways, distracted by the voices and the chaos around you, you suddenly collide with someone coming from the opposite direction. The impact is unexpected, and for a moment, everything seems to freeze. You take a quick step back, wide-eyed, only to find yourself face to face with a blonde girl.

She looks just as surprised as you, her eyes widening slightly before she quickly regains her composure. There’s a brief pause, an awkward silence as the two of you try to adjust to the sudden collision. The girl’s expression softens, and she lets out a quiet, nervous laugh. “Sorry about that,” she says, her voice light but with an undertone of curiosity.
