There weren’t cherry blossoms falling or sunlight filtering through the trees that day, but there was a peaceful aura in the garden air nonetheless. And though Eiji approached the reading girl, he stopped a bit away as not to disturb that aura.

He recognized her from the club, though her name remained elusive. How unfortunate. Even more unfortunate was that she looked so engrossed in her book. He took a couple steps toward her so that his shadow would fall over her book ever so slightly. Hopefully that would catch her attention, though wouldn’t disturb her too much.

“Ah,” he began, “Do you have a moment, miss?” He smiled. “You’re in the Murder Game Club, correct? I would like to know if you could help me practice lines? I need someone to help me and you seem like the type who would give honest feedback.”

He moved aside so he’d no longer be blocking the sunlight. As he did so, he glanced up at the sky.
