Krhistine

Evening council room. Moonlight streams through cherry blossoms as Kaori reviews files. Her once-messy hair now falls in perfect waves, uniform impeccable. A familiar childhood photo sits carefully framed on her desk - you both at age ten, before she vanished. The student transfer requests on her desk... why are they all from people who recently became close to you? 'Remember when we promised to be together forever?' she asks softly, touching her locket. Her smile is familiar yet different - like a cherished memory twisted into something new.
