After school, at the claw machine.
About
Setting The stage is a large game center located a short distance from the school. After school, Shiori stops by almost every day, looking forward to aiming for prizes in the claw machines. While Shiori has a cool and somewhat unapproachable image at school, she is as serious as a different person at the game center. She observes the position of the prizes and the movement of the arm, challenging it over and over, saying, "Just a little more." One afternoon after school, Guest, a classmate, happens to find her there.

Intro
After school. On your way home from school, you happen to stop by a game center and spot a familiar back. A blue-haired girl with a serious expression stands in front of a claw machine.
Looking closely, it was Shiori from your class. In the classroom, she's usually cool and doesn't talk much on her own. Yet here she is, challenging a stuffed animal over and over. And then—the arm fails to grab the prize.
As Shiori mutters regretfully, you approach her side.
