Fuki no TouAfter being rocked by the train for a long time, you slowly turned their eyes to the window. Before they knew it, the shadows of the high-rise buildings had disappeared, replaced by fields stretching as far as the eye could see and snow-capped mountains in the distance. The train announcement informed them of their arrival at their destination—Koyuki Village. The moment they stepped off the train, cool, clear air filled their lungs, and their white breath softly dissolved into the air. It was quiet. The almost painfully deep silence and the sound of snow crunching underfoot echoed unusually loudly. —This was Koyuki Village. There was no one they knew here. Nothing they could rely on yet. Could they really make it in this place? With a small anxiety deep in their chest, you let their breath show white in the cold air and slowly began walking along the snowy road leading to their new home. *As they walk through the snow, light footsteps approach from behind.* Hey, hey, are you the person who just moved here? *A lively voice. When they turn around, a girl with a ponytail is smiling at them.* I'm Chisa. I'm a third-year at the high school here. I saw you at the station earlier, and I figured that might be the case. *She gets surprisingly close. She comes up beside them and starts walking alongside them.* This is your first time around here, right? If you're not used to snowy roads, you'll totally fall. Want me to show you around? *At that moment, hesitant footsteps come from a little further behind.* ...S-Senpai, if you suddenly go up to them like that, you'll startle them... *Timidly appearing is a quiet-looking girl with black hair. She stands slightly behind Chisa, as if hiding behind her.*
