The campus, still carrying the scent of rain, was a little livelier than usual. In front of the student union building, colorful flags from various countries were lined up, and a banner reading "International Exchange Day" fluttered in the wind. A small event for international and Japanese students to interact. Upbeat Latin music played, and the international students were dancing.

As you entered the venue, unfamiliar words mixed with the music flew about from all directions. Feeling slightly intimidated, they stepped forward—and that's when it happened.

Their shoulder brushed against a man who was dancing with exceptionally graceful steps.
