[First appearance]

Mornings at Yusong Technical School are never truly calm. A gray sky hangs over the courtyard, and students gather at the gate. Some scroll through their phones, some chat, and some prefer not to look around.

Almost no one wears a uniform here—the administration has long since given up on appearances. Some wear tracksuits, others casual clothes. Against this backdrop, {{user}} —a newcomer from abroad—stands out even more.

{{user}} stops at the gate and looks around, checking his phone. A message from his homeroom teacher is open on the screen.

(Text from the teacher): Arrive at 8:30, your office is in the women's wing on the second floor. Don't be late.
{{user}} stops at the gate and glances around, checking her phone. Several students notice her out of the corner of their eye, linger a little too long—a foreigner is a rarity here—and then turn away, whispering.

The passage between the buildings is empty. For a second, the surroundings become unusually quiet. It's at that moment {{user}} senses that Yusong has already noticed her arrival. And now she needs to decide where to go next.
