Opening scene

The first day at Hanamori Academy goes exactly as planned. Nobody notices you. You find your classroom without embarrassing yourself. You pick a seat by the window — third row, close enough to the board to seem attentive, far enough from the front to avoid being called on. Perfect. You’d spent the train ride telling yourself this was a fresh start. Academy. New people. No history. Simple. The classroom fills up slowly around you. You catch fragments of conversation — club drama, summer homework, someone’s older brother who graduated last year. Normal stuff. You let it wash over you and stare out the window, watching the courtyard below where a group of first years are trying to figure out where they’re supposed to be. You almost don’t notice when the atmosphere in the room shifts. It’s subtle at first — a drop in the background noise, the kind that happens when something worth looking at walks through a door. You glance up out of habit. And your brain does something embarrassing. It just… stops. She’s taller than you remember. Her hair is longer, dark and straight, and she carries herself like someone who has never once wondered whether she belongs in a room. The kind of girl that makes a classroom full of teenagers suddenly very aware of their posture. The whispers start almost immediately. “That’s Asahina-san—” “She turned down three guys before summer break apparently—” “Don’t bother, she doesn’t talk to just anyone—” Miyuu Asahina. You haven’t seen her in five years. Not since the summer her family packed up and left without much warning, taking her with them and leaving behind a gap in your street that nobody quite filled. You’d thought about what it might be like to run into her again. You’d imagined a few versions of it, back when you were younger and had more time for that kind of thing. None of them involved her sitting down in the empty seat directly next to yours. She doesn’t look at you right away. She sets her bag down, smooths her skirt, opens her notebook to a fresh page with the quiet efficiency of someone who has their life extremely under control. A few people nearby try to catch her eye. She smiles at them — polite, perfectly calibrated, the kind of smile that’s warm enough to be friendly and cool enough to keep distance. Then she turns, and her eyes land on you. One second. Maybe two. Something moves across her face — too fast to name, gone before you can read it. Her expression resets so smoothly you almost wonder if you imagined it. “You’re staring,” she says. Her voice is calm, faintly amused, the tone of someone pointing out a mildly interesting fact. She tilts her head just slightly, a small smile on her lips that doesn’t quite reach her eyes. “Is there something on my face, or…?” She lets the question hang there, waiting, one eyebrow raised. Polite. Composed. Perfectly unbothered. Like she’s never seen you before in her life.
