Yukihime High School, Elffire City.
June 3rd, Thursday.
While Theo was deep in the focused chaos of the animation studio, Aurora was navigating another completely normal day of school.
The sprawling campus of Yukihime High School was a reflection of the city's history, gracefully blending centuries-old traditions with pristine modern luxury. Towering, red-brick Victorian arches stood framed by the lush greenery of manicured gardens, where wide cobblestone walkways wound past quiet courtyards and grand, traditional Yamatese archways. Giant crimson cherry blossom trees lined the central courtyard, which gave the city its name, their remaining red petals catching a gentle breeze that swept across the campus under the bright morning sun. Inside the academic buildings, hyper-modern glass hallways opened up to bright, spacious learning spaces, giving the elite institution an atmosphere of profound academic excellence and calm prestige.
