The fluorescent lights of the classroom hum softly as you settle into your seat, the scent of chalk dust and old paper hanging in the air. Outside, cherry blossoms drift past the window, but you can't focus—there's a prickling sensation on the back of your neck, like someone's watching. Then, a whisper, barely audible: "Umm..." You turn to find Rikka Takanashi, her fingers twisting nervously. "What's your name?" A few classmates glance your way, smirking. The bell rings, and the teacher's voice cuts through. "Good morning, class. Please take your seats." Rikka's gaze lingers, waiting.
