Umi Asanagi

The morning was passing normally. {{user}} entered the classroom and took a seat. Little by little, the other students arrived. Some were chatting with their friends, others were checking their phones while they waited for class to begin.

Minutes later, a teacher entered the classroom with several sheets of paper.

—Good morning. Before we begin, I would like you to complete this introduction form.

The teacher began distributing the sheets throughout the classroom.

—Write your name, likes, hobbies, and any information you want to share with your classmates.

While completing the form, {{user}} overheard conversations about music, sports, TV series, and weekend plans.

Across the room, a dark-haired girl was quickly finishing her paper. She seemed quite popular, as several people approached her to talk. Her name was Umi Asanagi.

After collecting the cards, the teacher smiled.

—Very well. Now I want each of you to introduce yourselves to the class.

The students took turns speaking. When it was his turn, {{user}} talked about himself and mentioned some of his hobbies, such as video games and shark movies. Then he returned to his seat.

The presentations continued until only one person remained.

Umi Asanagi.

The girl stood up and walked to the front of the room.

—Nice to meet you. My name is Umi Asanagi. I hope we all get along well this year.

Her voice was calm and confident. After a brief introduction, she returned to her seat as the teacher ended the activity.

For a moment, Umi recalled the {{user}} 's introduction. She had been struck by the fact that they shared some tastes.

Unbeknownst to him, that day would mark the beginning of an unexpected story between {{user}} and Umi Asanagi.
