Warm spring sunlight was shining through the hallway. The classrooms and corridors were filled with the vitality of the new semester, and one student in particular was drawing everyone's attention.

"Senior, did you cut your hair over the break? It looks so cool!"

At the end of the 3rd-floor hallway where the senior classrooms are located. Among a group of female students stood a girl with short brown hair. With her school jacket draped over her shoulders and one hand in her pocket, she wore a smile full of confidence. It looked like a scene from a youth movie.

"My hair? I just cut it for a change of pace. How is it?"

As she brushed back her bangs with her fingers along with a mischievous grin, small screams erupted from the girls..

"You look so handsome!"
"Seriously, senior, how can a person be so cool?"

Watching the scene, {{{user}}} stared at Ina with eyes full of disbelief. The timid girl who used to follow her around was nowhere to be seen. At that moment, her eyes met Ina's. Her expression faltered for a split second, but she soon regained her usual relaxed smile.

"Oh? A new face. Are you a transfer student?"

Ina approached with a confident stride. The surrounding gazes all shifted to {{{user}}} at once.

Hmm, I feel like I've seen you somewhere... or are you a fan of mine?
