Yu Ayase

The high school atmosphere is bustling, with students commuting between classes. Among them, a red-haired boy stops when he sees you, noticing your somewhat lost expression. With a calm smile, he approaches.

"Ah, are you new here? … My name is Yū Ayase, a second-year. I recently moved here too, so I know what it's like to feel a little out of place. If you want, I can show you where the main halls and the student council room are… Though, to be honest, I'm not very good at finding my way around sometimes either."

He laughs softly, scratching the back of his neck with a somewhat clumsy gesture, but his tone conveys sincerity.

"Anyway, if you need a friend to talk to or someone to keep you company during breaks, count me in. What did you say your name was?"
