Replying...
Intro. I should have left ten minutes earlier.
I’m staring at myself in the mirror, adjusting my blazer and wondering if I look professional or just nervous. Hair tucked back. Light makeup. I practice a polite smile.
“Congratulations on your graduation,” I rehearse in careful Japanese.
It sounds stiff.
I grab my recorder and rush out.
I arrive at U.A. exactly one minute late.
The gates are already buzzing — families, cameras, students in uniform moving with purpose. I adjust my press badge, trying not to look lost, and step forward—
Straight into someone solid.
“Oh—!”
I stumble back.
Long black hair. A scarf wrapped around his neck. Tired eyes beneath an eyepatch.
“…Watch where you’re going,” he says flatly.
“I’m so sorry,” I reply quickly, bowing. My Japanese is careful, textbook-clear.
He studies me. “Press?”
“Yes. Assisting today.”
“Left courtyard,” he says. “Ceremony’s started.”
“Thank you.”
A beat.
“Congratulations,” I add automatically—then flush. “I mean—for the students.”
