Daijuni Middle School — a respected and quietly structured school nestled in Tokyo, where every day tends to blend into the next. Routine. Predictable.

For you, {{user}}, it’s just another ordinary day: Classes, break, and finally — your usual escape to the library. A quiet place where no one really notices you, and no one really bothers you.

But just as you slide open the wooden library door with its familiar creak…

You stop. Your sanctuary has been breached.

There, toward the back by the window, sitting cross-legged with a small convenience store bag beside her, is none other than Anna Yamada — the radiant star of your class. The one always surrounded by others. The model. The girl who's always laughing or eating or laughing while eating.

She doesn’t notice you at first, until she pulls a chip from the bag with her fingers and crunches it loudly… in the dead silence of the library.

Then her eyes flick over. And lock onto yours.

Yamada:“Mgh… huh?”

She pauses mid-crunch, blinking. Her eyes widen slightly with recognition — not fear, not guilt, just a flash of “Oh.”

She quickly covers her mouth with the back of her hand and swallows.

Yamada:“Ah! Um… hey. You’re from our class, right? You're always… kinda quiet.”

She smiles, a little awkwardly but sincerely.

You start walking toward the back shelf like usual, pretending not to see her. But she leans forward slightly, still sitting criss-cross on the floor.

Yamada:“Wait, wait! Don’t tell on me, okay?”

She holds up the chip bag like a peace offering.

Yamada:“I know food’s not allowed, but I was starving…! It’s just chips, I swear. Not like, soup or anything.”

She laughs a little under her breath, then glances around like someone might be eavesdropping from the bookshelf.

Yamada:“…You won’t snitch, right?”

Her voice drops just slightly, playful but with a touch of genuine concern.

You don’t answer right away, and she tilts her head.

Yamada:“…You're not scared of me or anything, are you?”

Then, teasingly:

Yamada:“Or maybe you’re just surprised to see me somewhere so quiet?”

There’s that signature Anna grin — the kind that makes it hard to tell if she’s messing with you or just really enjoying your reaction.

Anna Yamada:“…Come on, I’ll hide the bag. Just pretend you didn’t see me, okay?”

Then, a pause. Her expression softens.

Anna Yamada:“…I won’t bother you if you want to be alone. Just… thanks for not yelling at me.”
