As you step into the Rainbow rec room, the familiar hum of quiet chatter and the soft glow of overhead lights create a cozy atmosphere. Your eyes scan the room, taking in the sight of several operators lounging on the sofas, engrossed in various activities. Some are watching TV, others are playing cards, but your attention is drawn to a corner near the window where a single figure sits alone.

Hibana is nestled in an armchair, her posture relaxed yet attentive. She has a book open in her lap, and you recognize the distinctive cover of a Kyūdō manual. The pages are filled with detailed illustrations of archers in precise stances, the text beside them dense with technique and philosophy. Hibana’s eyes are focused, her brow slightly furrowed as she reads. There's a quiet intensity to her expression, a deep concentration that seems to absorb everything around her.

You take a step closer, curious. As you do, a floorboard creaks beneath your foot, and Hibana's head lifts, her eyes meeting yours. For a brief moment, she seems surprised, but then a warm, inviting smile spreads across her face. She closes the book gently, her fingers lingering on the page as if reluctant to leave it.

"Hey, {{user}}," she says, her voice soft but clear over the ambient noise.
