Young Kaminari Hikimori, and her older brother, Meishu Hikimori, are two Japanese girls and boys of Kyoto descent, who upon being asked by the government, were sent away to the ocidental continent of Europe, by their parents. The reason being for them to study abroad - and soon come back to Japan at an older age, in order to better the nation. Though, the kids themselves have their own ideas. As, rather than focusing on grades, and more important stuff, they enjoy playing - and having fun with one another. As, for all of both their lives, they’ve had no other friends than each other. But now, as the cold weather approaches, and the two aren’t allowed to go outside much anymore, they begin to spend time apart. Given the fact that, since Meishu is older, his dorm is located further from Kaminari’s. However, this doesn’t stop them from communicating completely.

Meishu still shares many classes with his younger sister, and at the moment, seems to be engaging in conversation with him. It started with Kaminari shouting his name - “Meishu!” she cried happily across the hallway, before her brother came to respond. “What?” he asked. Little Kaminari smiled with innocence in her eyes. “Can I have some money?” she asked, trying to be as kind as possible. Despite that, Meishu still sighed, before reaching into his pocket. Originally, if he had been in his normal mood, Meishu wouldn’t have given Kaminari a single coin - but, remembering the deals he made with her past, he handed over a few. Kaminari accepted them into her hands gracefully, and then asked “Will these be enough for lunch?”. Meishu sighed once again - “Maybe. It depends.” he answered. Kaminari smiled before putting the coins in her right socks. This is what Kaminari did whenever she had something, for her dress had no pockets. It left weird marks, but quite frankly, neither Kaminari, or Meishu cared - and nobody else seemed to notice at all. That was until now, when a loud ‘Hey!” could be heard from down the hall. When Meishu first heard the voice, he was a bit confused. But then, he realised that he recognised the voice. And, Meishu recognised that voice quite well - It was the voice of Lucette, his new dorm mate. Lucette had always been going to this school - Bi Dama, as it was prestigious, and she was too. But, only now, was she sharing a room with him. And only now, was she picking up on his sister’s behaviour. Walking calmly, but in an authoritative way, with her slightly mid-light pink coloured dress skirt that reached to about slight past her knees, and even lighter minimalist pink dress top, with a white mob cap, and two yellow, almost orange, long locks on the sides of her fair skinned face, Lucette came over. She looked down at Kaminari, upon doing so.

Kaminari had short, shoulder length brown hair, and matching eyes - with a white sleeved dress, that had a brown body, and white curved collar. Kaminari’s dress was brownish greyish, and the skirt started right under where her chest would be, if she was older. Kaminari’s dress-skirt was straight, until the end, where it had two layers of frills under it - unlike Lucette’s skirt, which frilled three times, all the way through.

Now, Lucette examined this stance. Meanwhile, Kaminari shook, worriedly. Meishu put his hand on Kaminari’s shoulder, before asking Lucette, in an annoyed tone, “What now?”. “What now?” Lucette mimicly questioned, before stomping her foot, on the red carpet. Lucette then leaned on the white wall, which had a brown crown moulding, that reached about slightly less than a third of its height, before speaking again. “Nasty foreigners…” she whispered. Meishu sighed a third time. “My sister isn’t nasty!” he stated. Lucette took her time sighing. Except, she had her eyes closed, in a selfish feeling of pride manner. “I didn’t specifically call your sister nasty, now did I?” asked Lucette. “Well-” began Meishu, before he was cut off by Lucette. “I called all foreigners, including you, nasty.”. she says. Meishu inhales, so that he can sigh once again, but Kaminari nudges him - “Stop doing that!” she tells him. “Ok…” he groans, before looking at Lucette again. His eyes then widen, before he starts to shake. “What?” Lucette asks, in both a confused, but also, annoyed face, and tone. Meishu stutors as he looks at Lucette's direction. “No, really, what?” Lucette asks. Still ignoring Lucette’s question, Kaminari, too, begins to shake, before running off - with Meishu following after. “WHAT!?” Lucette asks angrily, before turning around, after hearing a sound.

Out of nowhere, a fast paced wagon passes through the hall, and just barely misses Lucette.

“The hell!?” Lucette exaggerates, before pointing in the direction of where the wagon went off too. Kaminari and Meishu blink a few times, before looking at each other, and then at Lucette. “Calm down, Lucy~” Kaminari jokes happily. But Lucette wasn’t in the mood for comedy. “What was that!?” she asks, still shouting. “A wagon…” Kaminari mumbles, while looking annoyed. “Well, I know that - but, what was it doing here - inside?” Lucette responds. Kaminari shrugs. “Beats me.” she answers. Meishu thinks for a second. “Maybe they’re transferring emergency goods.” he ponders. Lucette and Kaminari both gasp, before speaking in unison - “Emergency?”. “What if someone’s hurt?” Lucette adds. Kaminari nods. “We need to go help him!” she declares. From looking down, Meishu quickly gazes up. Before he could stop the two girls from venturing off, they already seemed to be running down the hall. “Hold, wait for me!” he shouted, as he chased after them.

Sooner, or later, he caught up with the pair, and now the trio stood in Main-Hall. Main-Hall was located at the centre of Bi Dama Academy, and was full of many couches, desks, tables, and more, for socialisation - and study. Students could also eat at Main-Hall - and it was a common relaxation destination. It had dark brown wooden flooring, and pagne glass windows that looked like those of a Catholic Church. Though, they didn’t contain any colours, nor art.

Sitting at a table, near one such table, was the trio. They chose to stop here, because the wagon went down King’s-Hall. This was a long hallway, located at the top of some stairs, near the back of Main-hall. It led to the room of the school’s officials. Thus, none of those kids could go over there. But, Lucette still wanted to. With her self-attitude, she attempted to rush in the direction, but was quickly stopped. Holding onto Lucette’s hand was Brittanica, her maid. Brittanica wore an appropriate maid’s outfit, and had short pink hair, with two locks in it, almost like Lucette’s. At the bottom of her locks, were green bows. And, she had some sort of green headband on top of her head.

“Madame-” she began, "I believe that we need to go…”. As Britranica pulled on Lucette, Kaminari asked, “Where to?”. Still tugging, Brittanica answered - “Everyone is to be summoned to Lecture-Hall, orders Master’s Master!”.

Kaminari nodded in understanding.

Meishu, himself, too, understood. He then scanned the room. “I see why no one is here then,” he says. Brittanica nods, before finally pulling on Lucette her hardest. Lucette groans. “Fine then, let’s go hear this stupid lecture!” she exclaims. Brittanica covers her mouth, “Ma’am, I’m sure it’s for good purpose.”

Kaminari smiles, “I agree.” she says. Brittanica then faces her. “I think that you ought to go as well.” she instructs. Kaminari and Meishu both stand up. Kaminari salutes with a serious face, and then looks over at Meishu. “You heard the lady!” she says. Meishu sighs, and Kaminari throws a look at him, before marching up, and out the room. Once they exit out, Brittanica draws her attention to Lucette. “Come on, M’lady, we’re going to be late.”. Lucette crosses her arms, and puts on a mad face, but deep inside, she is curious - so, she follows after Brittanica.
