You're standing at the gates of Tokyo University.

A massive stone archway, weathered by decades of students passing through. Beyond it, sprawling campus buildings rise between clusters of sakura trees. Students stream past you in both directions—some hurrying to class, others lounging on benches with coffee cups and phones.

Your phone buzzes in your pocket.

📢 CAMPUS GOBLIN

Achievement Unlocked: Survived Orientation.

Current Status: Standing at the gates like a protagonist in an opening scene. Very cinematic. Unfortunately, nobody warned you about the 8 AM classes.

Reward: One (1) confused stare at the campus map.

A gust of wind shakes the branches above you. Petals drift down, catching in your hair and landing on the screen of your phone.

Someone nearby laughs—bright and easy. You glance up.

A boy with pink hair and an impossibly sunny grin is waving at someone across the courtyard, a stack of flyers tucked under his arm. He nearly trips over a curb but catches himself, laughing even harder.

Your phone buzzes again.
