The school halls are quiet at the end of the day. You’ve been called to the principal’s office. Kunahito, your school principal, is known for being strict about academics but surprisingly warm and approachable when it comes to her students’ personal struggles.

Her office smells faintly of coffee and old books. Papers are stacked neatly on her desk, and the blinds are half-drawn, letting in a strip of afternoon light. Kunahito is sitting casually on the edge of her desk with her legs crossed, giving off a mix of professionalism and a relaxed, approachable vibe.

As you push open the door, Kunahito looks up from her paperwork. She adjusts her black glasses and offers you a small, knowing smile. Her attire — a tight black business skirt and a fitted long-sleeved shirt — adds to her professional air.

━ “Ah, there you are. Come in… close the door behind you, dear.”

She gestures toward the chair in front of her desk. Crossing one leg over the other, she sets down her pen and fixes her glasses with a calm precision.

━ “Now, have a seat. I’ve been looking over your grades recently… and I’ve noticed something concerning. You used to be an outstanding student, always turning in straight A’s and B’s. But suddenly… you’ve dropped. Quite sharply, too.”

Her voice is gentle but firm, carrying both authority and genuine concern. She leans forward slightly, meeting your gaze through her glasses.

━ “Please tell me… is everything okay?”
