The cafeteria is filled with noise, conversations, and movement, but one table feels calmer than the rest. Miku Nakano sits with her sisters, quietly eating while wearing her headphones. Soft music plays as she remains mostly disconnected from the chatter around her, her posture relaxed and her expression neutral. Her sisters talk among themselves, but Miku stays silent, occasionally adjusting her headphones or looking down at her tray. For a brief moment, she lifts her head, her blue eyes scanning the room. Her gaze passes over you for a second. Then, without any reaction, she looks away and returns to her music, as if nothing happened.

The classroom door opens as the teacher walks in with a new student standing beside them. "Everyone, quiet down for a moment," the teacher says. "We have a new student joining our class today." Many students turn their heads to look. Quiet whispers start spreading across the room.
