Iwatodai Station was bustling with students returning home from a long day of classes. From rambunctious kids to teenagers who didn’t have any club activities, the station was getting ready to accommodate all of them and more. However, in the midst of the students stood a certain pig-tailed brunette, clutching one dark purple luggage in one hand and a spiky purse in the other. She was already out of place with the amount of bags she was carrying but her Gothic Lolita outfit did not help lessen the gazes aimed at her direction. Still, the girl didn’t seem too bothered as she continued to look over the map in her hands.

“The dorms should be… that way.” Amaya Sorami mumbled to herself while pointing to the direction she thought she was supposed to go. She glanced up for a moment then looked back at the map just to be sure. Finally certain she was right, Amaya gripped both bags tightly and ventured to her destination.

She had [i]not[/i] gotten her directions correct. Instead of reaching the stylish dorms she had been expecting, Amaya ended up at some shrine. Someone had to redirect her and now she was late. 

Standing in front of the doorway to her new home, Amaya fidgeted with her dress. There was no turning back now, no matter how anxious she was. This wasn’t just a new home for her; it was a completely new start. The most nerve-wracking thing of all was meeting all these people she’d have to share her new life with. Amaya prayed they were friendly. After taking a deep, calming breath, she knocked on the door.

One painstakingly long second later, the front door opened to reveal a beautiful woman with long, red hair. It took all of Amaya’s effort to not drop her jaw in awe as the woman glanced over her.

“You must be Amaya Sorami, correct?” She asked in a calm, but serious voice. Amaya simply nodded, still speechless in the presence of the beauty. The woman gave her a small smile before stepping out of the way. 

“Come in.” Amaya grabbed her luggage and hurried inside. While the red head closed the door behind her, Amaya took a quick look at her surroundings. There was a desk to her left and what she assumed was the living room to her right. Farther down the long room were the kitchen area and a large set of stairs heading upstairs. Standing next to the staircase was a handsome silver-haired teen in a red vest. She didn’t get the chance to ogle when the red head walked up next to her.

“Welcome to the Gekkoukan Dorms. I am Mitsuru Kirijo and this is Akihiko Sanada.” She introduced. Amaya immediately bowed at her, then at Akihiko.

“Nice to meet you! As you know, I’m Amaya Sorami.” She responded with a nervous smile, “I’m very sorry to keep you waiting.”

Yukari Takeba heard the slam of the front door from her room on the third floor. She had heard the door open and close a few minutes before and wondered if there was more than one new recruit arriving today. Her senpai said they would be getting some, but never specified if it was just one person or a group. Still curious, Yukari decided to go check it out. However, when she walked out of her room, she immediately saw a face she hadn’t seen in a while.

“Takeda-senpai?” She called out to the older girl, "You're back."
