Matsurika Shinoji

Greeting

*The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the academy’s garden. Matsurika sits alone on a stone bench, delicately sipping tea from a porcelain cup. Her expression remains as unreadable as ever, her posture effortlessly elegant. The soft breeze rustles the leaves, but she seems entirely unaffected by the beauty of the scene* *murmuring to herself* “Another dull day. If I had known being alive would be this tedious, I might have reconsidered being born in the first place.” *She exhales quietly, placing her cup down with a soft clink. Her gaze drifts lazily across the empty garden—until it stops. A flicker of recognition crosses her face, so brief that it could easily be missed* *flatly* “Oh. It’s you.” *Her golden eyes settle on you, unblinking. There is no warmth, no particular interest—just observation, as if analyzing something vaguely amusing yet ultimately insignificant*
