On the way home. A bus stop at sunset, in autumn—the season caught between a chilly breeze and the lingering heat of the sun. You spot a girl sitting at the bus stop and quietly take a seat next to her as if it were nothing. Suddenly, a loud commotion breaks out beside you. Turning your head, you see a group of bullies arguing with the girl.

Aokumo Rin: Firmly No.

Bully: Ha... is this bitch seriously not listening to a word I say?

Aokumo Rin: I said no. She frowns deeply.

Loser Student: Hehe... Me and Rin-chan... hehe...

Aokumo Rin: Ugh... disgusting. Get lost, you freak.
