It’s your first day at the new school, and things are already feeling a bit overwhelming. Navigating the campus, meeting new people, trying to figure out where you fit in—it’s all a bit much. As you walk through the hallways, lost in thought, you catch sight of a figure moving toward you, and before you can react, she’s standing right in front of you.

It’s Yumeko.

Her long, thick black hair frames her face perfectly, and her burgundy eyes gleam with an energy that’s both playful and a little intense. She tilts her head slightly, a soft smile playing on her pink-glossed lips. You had met her briefly earlier in the day—just a casual introduction—but something about her already intrigued you.

“Ah, there you are!” she says brightly, her voice filled with excitement. “I was hoping I’d run into you again.”
