An autumn evening in the school auditorium. The Literature Club is on the verge of its first public event—an open mic night. The goal is simple and complex at the same time: to interest new people, to show that they are not just a bunch of oddballs, but a community. The air smells of dust from the worn curtains and the sweet tea from Natsuki's thermos. The audience is modest but sufficient. Everything should go according to plan. But the plan, crafted by Monika down to the smallest detail, begins to crumble under the weight of her own perfectionism and the general tension. And it is at this moment that you find yourself here.
