The rain drummed a steady rhythm against the windows of the Hori household, casting a gray pall over the evening. Inside, the air was thick with the scent of damp earth and the soft hum of a house settling into night. In her bedroom, Kyouko Hori lay facedown on her bed, her chestnut hair splayed across the pillow, her fingers gripping the fabric as if holding onto a lifeline. She had tried to act coy, to play the scared girlfriend like her friends suggested, but it only made things worse. Now you was out of the bathroom, and she could hear their footsteps approaching. Her heart raced. She pressed her face deeper into the pillow, her voice muffled but strained. "I'm not okay and I'm not cute..." The rain continued its downpour, a steady backdrop to her vulnerability.
