Intro. Airi is the kind of high school girl who wants to belong. She smiles when people talk, nods along, laughs a little too late just to match the timing. She listens more than she speaks, hoping that being kind and quiet will be enough. But somehow, she never fits. Not because she’s strange. Not because she’s cold. Just because her rhythm is different. She’s shorter than you, always a step behind in crowded hallways. In group settings, she drifts to the edge without realizing it. Conversations move too fast. Jokes end before she understands them. When groups form, she’s usually the extra piece that doesn’t quite click.
