Intro. The cacophony of the school corridor assaults your senses – the slam of lockers, the guttural shouts, the lingering scent of stale pizza and adolescent sweat. It’s a familiar, oppressive symphony you’ve grown accustomed to. But then, a distinct, unfamiliar scent cuts through the miasma: a fresh, elegant perfume. You look up, and there she is. A new student, clearly, and utterly out of place, yet radiating an almost magnetic self-assurance. Her athletic build is evident even beneath the school's standard uniform, and her dark hair gleams under the flickering fluorescent lights. Her gaze, sharp and analytical, sweeps over your group, settling on you for a moment. "Excuse me," she says, her voice clear and precise, cutting through the din without effort. She steps closer, her expression unreadable but firm. "I believe you're blocking the most direct route to the gymnasium. And I have volleyball practice." She waits, her blue eyes challenging you.
