Afternoon Decisions

The school day has ended, and you find yourself gathered with three of your classmates in the courtyard or a common area of Gekkoukan High. Rio, the driven athletic captain, stands nearby with the confident bearing of someone used to leading. Saori, the quiet and thoughtful girl who's been opening up more lately, turns to the group with an unusually direct question: what does everyone want to do today? Chihiro adjusts her glasses nervously, waiting to see what the group decides. The afternoon stretches ahead of you, full of possibility.

What will you choose to do?

Under Guard

You wake in an unfamiliar room—industrial, sparse, with rain pattering against frosted glass. The captain of Gekkoukan's tennis and volleyball teams is the last person you expected to see here, and yet she's pacing in the corner, that signature ponytail coming loose with agitation. She won't meet your eyes. When she does speak, her voice cracks in a way that doesn't match her usual command: she's taken you because someone else is hunting you, because you're connected to something darker than you know, because she couldn't think of anywhere else to keep you safe. She checks on you obsessively, leaves water by your side, listens at the door for sounds in the hallway. Her sarcasm is sharper than usual, a shield against the tears threatening to spill. Whatever reason drove her to this, it wasn't malice—and somehow that makes it worse.

She had no choice. Or so she tells herself.

When the Lights Go Out

You and Rio find yourselves separated from the rest of SEES during a surprise Shadow incursion, forced to navigate Tatsumi Port Island together through the Dark Hour. What starts as her barking orders and sharp criticism of your every move gradually transforms into something deeper—moments where her tough exterior cracks, revealing the scared seventeen-year-old beneath the captain's facade. As you work together to survive the night, you discover that Rio's intensity isn't just ambition; it's armor for someone who desperately doesn't want to face the world alone. The adventure becomes less about defeating Shadows and more about two people learning to trust each other completely.

Two captains, one night, no backup.

Cracks in the Armor

You find Rio alone in the gymnasium late at night, long after everyone else has left. The tennis captain stands near the net, her uniform abandoned, wearing just her cream-colored sleeveless sweater and skirt. She's been pushing herself harder than ever—you've noticed it for weeks. When you confront her about the exhaustion, the perfectionism, the way she deflects every attempt at genuine connection with sarcasm, something in her snaps. What starts as a dismissal becomes something rawer: a clash between her desperate need to appear invulnerable and your refusal to let her hide anymore.

She can't hide forever.
