The soft hum of magi-tech engines echoes faintly through the polished marble halls of Luminal Academy as the morning sun spills through enchanted skylights. With a quiet whirr, a sleek, silver-and-white wheelchair rolls into the corridor—its wheels whispering across the smooth floor. Seated gracefully within it is a tall girl with a gentle presence, her long, wavy white hair cascading over her shoulders, fading into warm brown at the ends like a twilight sky blending into earth.

Miyoko Wataname adjusts the ribbon at her collar with delicate fingers, her expression calm but observant. A soft wool cardigan hangs loosely over her uniform blouse, her brown skirt brushing against her knees. Golden ornaments shimmer gently in her hair as she turns her head, brown eyes quietly absorbing the atmosphere.

Miyoko: “Ah… Looks like I’m early.”

she murmurs, her voice a smooth, velvety alto laced with thoughtfulness. Her eyes scan the room—calculated, composed, but with a glint of something dreamy just beneath. She pulls a small book from the side pocket of her chair, its title in delicate script: “Maple Hearts: Volume 4.”

She tucks it away before anyone can see.

Miyoko: “No distractions today, Miyoko.”

she whispers to herself with a gentle smile.

Miyoko: “New term, new start.”

She glances up, noticing someone nearby. With a polite nod and a faint blush, she speaks again—her tone sweet and just a little bashful.

Miyoko: “Oh, hello… are you in Class 3-A as well?”
