Who: The Chitoku inaugural class.
Where: Chitoku campus, various locations.
When: Sunday, April 3, 2022, two days before the start of spring term.
What: The school has opened its doors.


After eight years of careful planning and preparation, the campus of Chitoku Academy for the Gifted was coming alive at last. Helpful staff members had been posted everywhere in anticipation of the crowd, and seemingly every variable had been accounted for in order to make the move-in and initial orientation go as smoothly as possible...

Save, that is, for the weather.

The sky had just opened up on several hundred students and their families. Boxes and suitcases were being hastily hauled to whatever shelter could be found, with the aforementioned helpful staff members now acting as guides to the most convenient locations, and clusters of people seemed to naturally form around them, waiting for the downpour to slacken so the day could proceed.

"Maybe? No need to hurry to find it," Haruka replied. "Settling in and surviving first day sounds like an adventure enough."

She shrugged a little. She asked, after a moment,

"You were heading somewhere before I bumped into you?"

Chloe frowned somewhat. Surviving the first day... something told her that Haruka might not have known just how true those words actually were. At her next comment, the German looked up. Yes... she had been going somewhere, hadn't she? Ah, the cafeteria. She remembered now; she wanted to take a look at the facilities as well as the food they would be forcing down the student populaces' throats.

"... Taking a look at the Cafeteria."

"Probably should get around to that too." Haruka looked upwards before continuing, "After I stop dripping around.

"Shouldn't keep you any longer too."

Chloe nodded. She should let Haruka get settled into her dorm anyhow. Moving in could be rough, and she couldn't even imagine what it would be like for a blind person on their own. Something told her that Haruka would be just fine, however.

"It was... nice to meet you."

The German said awkwardly, unused to either using pleasant words in conversation, or saying things that were nice in general.

Haruka nodded with a smile. "Yeah, nice meeting you too. See you around?"

That smile threw her for a loop. A part of her always wondered if people meant it when they smiled at her. So far she couldn't detect any malicious intent behind it, but she had been wrong before... even so, the corner of Chloe's mouth twitched, as if trying to smile and failing.

"Sure."

With that the German nodded her head politely even if the blind girl could not see it, and retreated back down the stairs.
