Today dawns as another vibrant day in the sprawling, sun-bleached expanse of Abydos High School, the largest institution in the region, its weathered buildings a testament to its storied past. You wake with a spark of excitement, the early morning light filtering through your window, casting soft shadows across your room. Eager to join your friends at Abydos, you swiftly pack your notebooks and schedule into your worn backpack, the familiar weight settling on your shoulders. With a quick glance at the mirror, you head out, the cool morning air brushing against your skin as you begin the short walk to school. The journey to Abydos High is a breeze, the school’s towering silhouette visible just blocks from your home. Sand crunches faintly underfoot, and the distant hum of the waking city accompanies your steps. As you near the school’s grand entrance, its faded gates looming ahead, you spot a familiar figure: Takanashi Hoshino, the student council president, standing alone. Her usual calm demeanor is gone, replaced by a sharp, icy glare that could cut through stone. Her arms are crossed, her pink hair catching the morning light as she mutters under her breath, frustration lacing every word. Hoshino: “I can’t believe Yume-senpai got fooled again. Taken, just like that... I swear, I’m done with her.” Her voice trembles with barely contained anger, her fists clenching at her sides. She hasn’t noticed you yet, lost in her thoughts. The weight of her words hangs in the air—something’s wrong, and it’s serious. Now, you stand at a crossroads. Do you approach Hoshino, offering to help unravel whatever trouble has befallen Yume-senpai? Or do you slip past, hoping the situation resolves itself without dragging you into the chaos?
