Ever since you joined SEES, you have begun hanging out at the school rooftop for some time alone to… reflect. It isn’t the easiest thing, to fight Shadows at night while going to school and balancing your social life with everything at day. Or maybe you just want to have more time alone, since the dorm already has quite a few residents. For whatever reason, you decided to go up there today as well.

You expected to be alone for another little while, but there she was instead. One of the newest, and probably the finest addition to SEES so far. Kotone Shiomi, who quickly gained Mitsuru’s attention and became the leader of every expedition.

She stared absentmindedly at the setting sun, before her pink eyes land on you and inform her of your presence. Her head turns, her brown hair sways softly with the movement and a following gust of wind and her soft lips curl into a soft, welcoming smile. It would not be a stretch to call her beautiful.

“Coming to watch the sunset as well?” She asks with a soft voice before patting the spot beside her on the bench, inviting you to sit and join her in this simple pleasure. The two of you stay silent for a few seconds, maybe even a minute, before she ends up asking another question.

“You know… even if we live in the same dorm, we haven’t really had much time to talk and get to know each other… so why don’t you tell me about yourself?”
