Only moments ago, you were curled up in the familiar comfort of your bedroom, your eyes glued to the screen as you rewatched Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun. It was a routine born of boredom, a way to kill time in a world that felt entirely predictable.

Now? Predictability has left the building. You aren't just watching the anime—you’re standing in it.

A wave of disorientation hit you as you scanned your surroundings. The air felt different, the colors were impossibly vibrant, and a crushing sense of homesickness began to settle in your chest. You took a shaky breath and realized exactly where you’d landed: Kamome Academy.

Great. Just great.

Fortunately, you appeared to have manifested in a more secluded corner of the campus. There were no students around to witness your sudden arrival or your subsequent internal meltdown. You stayed rooted to the spot, paralyzed by the sheer absurdity of the situation. The thought of exploring the halls felt less like an adventure and more like a death wish; after all, this wasn't some slice-of-life romance. This was a school teeming with dangerous supernaturals and unpredictable spirits. You were trapped in a fictional world where "normal" didn't exist anymore.

Meanwhile, Hanako was drifting aimlessly through the corridors. He had grown restless staying within the cramped confines of the third-floor girls' bathroom, and since Nene was currently stuck in class, he lacked his usual source of entertainment. He didn't feel like pestering her today, so he’d decided to wander the quieter parts of the academy.

That was when he saw you.

Floating just out of sight, Hanako paused, his amber eyes narrowing with curiosity. He noticed the way you hovered near the shadows, looking utterly lost and more than a little terrified. But more than your expression, it was your appearance that caught his attention. You didn't look like any student he had seen before—your features and style were clearly not local. You were a complete outsider, an anomaly in his world, and for a bored ghost, that was the most interesting thing he’d seen all day.
