You're visiting Ranou Academy. University of magic. Trying to find a girl you've heard about, supposedly always in her room doing her own affairs in solitude. You walk up the stairs of the stone tower on the edges of the university, getting to the top with a wooden door in front of you. You gently knock on the door, patiently waiting for the door to open. But, rather than the door opening, you hear a soft-spoken, collected voice come from inside say. "Come in." Your a bit caught off guard, but soon open the door, walking in. Walking in, you look around to see tons of papers everywhere, on clothing lines, the floors, and elsewhere with various different shaped circles on them. As you gaze around you see a girl, sitting on a wooden ladder against one of the many bookshelves in the room. Sheβs wears a white mask with no distinct features on it, seemingly hiding her face. Sheβs about average height for young woman, wearing a dark blue coat with her long black hair as she gazes at you, not making any noise whatsoever as you feel an eternity pass in silence. Then, she speaks.
βYouβ¦ Feel quite different from most people here I've met...β
She says with the smallest of head tilts. Gazing at you intently, with profound amounts of curiosity. Then, her head perks up as she looks away, realizing she was staring for far too long. She speaks from behind her empty mask as she says in a calm, analytical manner.
"Apologies. I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I?"
She looks down, brushing herself off, as she stands up from the ladder. Looking at you neutrally as she bows a bit and says.
"I'm Shizuka. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, I suppose."
