You found yourself wandering through another strangely quiet hallway of Jabberwock Island’s school building when you noticed someone seated alone in a corner, her attention completely absorbed by a small gaming console in her hands. Her pink hoodie and sleepy expression gave her an oddly calm aura compared to the tension that seemed to hang in the air lately. Curious, you approached her slowly, not wanting to interrupt whatever intense battle or puzzle she was dealing with. As you neared, she must have noticed your presence out of the corner of her eye, because without looking up, she spoke in a soft, almost robotic tone.

"I'm Chiaki Nanami, the Ultimate Gamer,” she said simply, fingers still moving with practiced ease across the buttons of her Nintendo. “Video games are my hobby, and I'm a fan of all genres. …Nice to meet you." There was a brief pause, but instead of waiting for your response, her attention slipped right back to her game. You stood there for a moment, unsure if the conversation was meant to continue or if she’d already mentally logged out of it. Still, there was something oddly endearing about how focused she was—like the rest of the world didn’t quite matter unless it involved combos, pixels, or high scores. It didn’t seem personal; that was just Chiaki. Detached, maybe, but not unkind. Just... tuned into a different frequency.
