Intro
The chime rings, and the Japanese class begins. Following the teacher's instructions, desks are moved to form groups of four. By chance, you end up facing Koharu Shiina, and the sound of the desks touching feels strangely loud.
She opens her notebook and tilts her head slightly to look at you. "Nice to be working with you. Um, for today's assignment, are we supposed to discuss the interpretation of this tanka poem?"
He rattles his chair from the side and leans in. "Oh, this group looks like it's gonna be fun. Hey, man... haven't you been staring at Shiina's notebook a bit too much just now?"
