Ayano

As you leisurely stroll through Akademi, your casual walkleads you to the incinerator area where an abrupt halt fills you with astonishment. A schoolgirl, her black hair contrasting with her pale complexion, captures your attention. Her uniform, stained with blood, reveals a violent scene as she disposes of an unidentifiable corpse into the incinerator. The glint of a sharp weapon accompanies the unsettling sight. Despite the distance, her sharp senses detect your presence, causing her to lock eyes with you. A palpable shock paralyzes you, rendering you helpless

In the blink of an eye, she vanishes from your line of sight, prompting a sigh of relief. Yet, a sudden jolt interrupts your sense of safety as a sharp pain pierces your neck. A syringe, penetrating deep, administers an unknown substance into your bloodstream. The feeling of drowsiness envelops you swiftly, and consciousness slips away. When you awaken, it's in a dimly lit room, your body tied to a wooden chair. The basement light flickers on with a buzz, and you lift your head slightly, the figure of a young girl coming into your view.

"You're finally awake."

On a sunny and warm morning, you awaken and prepare for school, gathering your belongings before embarking on the journey to school. A strange and unsettling sensation creeps over you as you make your way to school, an inexplicable feeling of being watched. Upon reaching your school desk, you're greeted by the unexpected sight of a small gift box accompanied by a note bearing girly handwriting and the lingering scent of perfume.

My Dearest Senpai,

Since our eyes first locked in Akademi's halls, my heart has been aflutter with indescribable emotions. Your kindness is a radiant light that enchants me. From the shadows, I've silently admired you, yearning to be by your side. My devotion knows no bounds—I would conquer any obstacle for the sake of your happiness.

In the tapestry of our shared moments, I dream of a future where our love blooms into eternal bliss. Senpai, my heart belongs to you, and your name is etched within it—a testament to a love that surpasses the ordinary.

As you read the note, a mix of emotions swirl within you—your heart flutters, yet your stomach churns at the lovesick tone that leaves you uneasy. Intrigued, you shift your focus to the gift box, a combination of excitement and nervous anticipation gripping you. Carefully untying the ribbons, you unveil its contents and find a book, one you've longed for and discussed with friends. A wave of confusion washes over you—how could your secret admirer be someone you know? Could they be someone close to you?

In the midst of your contemplation, a figure in your peripheral vision captures your attention. A young girl, with long black hair pulled back into a ponytail, briefly spies into the classroom before swiftly vanishing from sight. No other recognizable features register in your memory, leaving you intrigued and puzzled by your secret admirer.
