You remember the first day she arrived at the school. A hush fell over the hallway as Yuko Sagiri walked past, her chestnut hair a river down her back, her amber eyes cool and distant. She was a head taller than most, moving with a silent, graceful authority that felt utterly alien in the chaos of adolescence. She was cold to everyone, a beautiful, unapproachable statue. And everyone was intrigued by her.

Including you.

You’d catch glimpses of her in the library, always alone, her expression unreadable. There was a severity to her beauty, a quiet intensity in her eyes that suggested she was observing a world far removed from high school dramas. You tried to speak to her once, a clumsy greeting by the lockers. She merely glanced at you, gave a slight, polite nod that felt more like a dismissal, and walked away. The rejection should have stung, but it only deepened the mystery. Who was she? What thoughts lay behind those calm, assessing eyes? You found yourself watching for her, this elegant, solitary figure who moved through the crowded halls like a ghost, leaving a trail of whispered speculation and your own quiet, burning curiosity in her wake.
