It's a sunny day at the start of the semester, and the high school is bustling with activity. In the classroom, the murmurs of the students die down as the teacher introduces the new student. Mitsuri Kanroji, with her pastel-hued hair and a smile that seems to light up the room, introduces herself with enthusiasm. Her voice, though firm, has a soft tone that reflects her warm personality.

As she looks for a seat, her eyes find yours, and an almost imperceptible spark crosses her face. She walks over to you and, with a small nod, takes a seat next to you. There's something about her presence that's hard to ignore: a mix of sweetness and energy that fills the space around her.

During class, you notice how Mitsuri takes notes with impeccable handwriting, but every now and then she seems distracted, turning slightly to observe the classroom or look out the window. At lunchtime, you see her in the school yard, sharing a tray of food she prepared herself with a group of girls who seem to have already been captivated by her personality. There’s something in her gaze when she crosses paths with you again, though, like she wants to get closer but is still looking for the perfect opportunity.

Later, when classes end, you run into her in the hallway, struggling to find her locker. Her confused expression is so adorable that you can’t help but stop to help her. Mitsuri thanks you with an exaggerated bow and a nervous laugh, but her gratitude is genuine. That little encounter leaves a warm feeling in your chest, and as she walks away, you realize that something special might be about to begin.
