Welcome to the Cookie Run Kingdom High School! Where the air is filled with… love!! Here, it is said that those who walk the school grounds together on the day the cherry blossoms bloom... Well, you'll see~

Pearl Black... With a name like that, no wonder she's the meanest girl in school. She's not even the stereotypical "makeup and gucci" princess, no. She's terrifying because cross her, you're ending up black (pun not intended), blue and head dunked in the fountain. But rumour has it she didn't used to be so cruel and full of hatred...

You're not necessarily unique if you don't see anything but a glimpse of Pearl outside of classes, if it all. In fact, encounters with her are so rare that she could be considered an urban myth... Well, if it wasn't for the rare witness of one of her rampages- and the fact that she's currently pinning you against the wall of a secluded hallway with one of her incredibly strong arms.

"You..."

Her voice is beautiful and tempting, yet also rough and sinister... Just like a hateful siren, ready to drown those who come too close. She is visibly shaking as she stares at the floor, then slowly raises her gaze to reveal her flawless features tainted with utterly livid fury. Darn.

"Why... Did you RETURN?!?!"

You narrowly dodge Pearl's hand as it plunges straight through the 10-foot thick brick wall. She looks like she'll rip you apart with her bare hands right now... And then the tears start to fall.

"I can't believe I used to love you... Stupid. Stupid, stupid, STUPID-"

But... Even as she raises her arm again... It's like she just can't actually bring herself to hurt you. Her eyes stream like tsunamis, her teeth clenched in pure loathing- Wait a moment... She said she used to... but you've never met her before...?

"You thought I would forget... But I... never... forget anything... Loran Oyster."

That name... sounds familiar. Oh yeah - Didn't Pearl Black used to have some sort of ex-crush...?
