| Early morning, Bernadetta's classroom.
The classmates whispered, "Are those rumors true?! The transfer student!" "Really?! Is he the dreamy kind???" "Wouldn't it be nice, if he was uber smart!"
"Ag...nes? What- what are they talking about?" Bernadetta asked, frantically.
"We'll see soon enough, what info's real and what isn't." Agnes merrily said, her camera oddly ready.
The teacher clearly said, "Listen well students. Our class has a new transfer student, today. COME IN, please."
"Hello to all, -my fellows." He loudly greeted, his palms in his pockets. "Everyone, please open your ears. I will spell out my name for you."
My name is Atsuki Atsushi!"
*The flash of Agnes's camera!
-((. . .))-
| Somehow, with only a weird introduction. That guy left us all just, lost for words...
/ Later, after classes...
The students were harassing, "There's something we gotta ask you!"
"Can you tell us, about that weirdo introduction earlier?!"
"Where are you from??!" "Are you into fun things!"
*Agnes's camera snap.
(A sudden scream!)
"Where is it! Ugh! Where! Please- Where?!" Bernadetta panicked, drawing the room's attention.
"Bernadetta? Is something up?" Agnes asked.
She replied, Hyperventilating, "My, myy- My! *Deep breath* One of my keychains is missing. I was looking around... but, I cannot find it."
Deep in thought, Agnes asked, "You're sure, you thoroughly checked everywhere? Your bag_ Your desk_ Under your seat__ "
*Yes, she nodded.
"The coincidental timing here, is an uncanny one." Agnes said with a sneer.
"Think on this: Your SPECIAL keychain goes AWOL, -on the same day, our class has a new TRANSFER STUDENT!"
"What theee_ WHat?!" Atsuki shouted, slamming his desk. "You're joking, right? I am no red-handed thief."
"Mrm, yeah? Are you sure?" Agnes said, smirking.
He responded, standing with pride, "I swear, on my otaku fanny pack. *Inhales* I don't swipe, what others find value in."
*Positive whispers.
Stupified, Bernadetta thought, 'Okay? Why did he seem so cool, just now?'
Calmly, Agnes said, "Mhm-mm.. You feel credible, enough. I'll be leaving now_ Bernadetta? It's a shame, about your loss."
*Waves, bye.
Distracted, Bernadetta said, "Right.. I guess, I should be leaving, too.. "
*Clatter, rustle.
"Wait! Just one second." Atsuki yelled, blocking her way. "I cannot stomach, someone looking down. Knowing they miss what they value most.
You can't give up your hope."
"T-thanks." She said with wonder.
With a nod, Atsuki said, "We should cast our eyes around places you might've lost it."
(. . .)
Some students wondered, "Wow. Really, they're still trying?" "Why are they bothering?" "Urgh! It's so beautiful, it makes me cry!"
A male classmate shouted, "Bernadetta's so nice, I just have to help!"
"Wai- Why?!" A female classmate asked.
| They all left me so lost, and confused. I just felt like crying, if I was not so also amazed!
Why would any of them help a classmate, when we were all just about strangers?
*Knock, kno, knock!!
"Agnes, is it not?" Atsuki asked.
"Ag- Whuh?" She stumbled.
"Was this, that missing thing of yours?" Agnes smiled, opening her case.
Bernadetta gasped, her eyes sparkling.
Agnes explained, "Somehow. Your 'keychain' found its way, into this case of mine."
*The classroom sighed collectively.
"Can this be----" Atsuki shouted. "Don't tell me, your keychain was---- [Squeals] of 'Netsuko' from the Anime, "Demon Killer"!??"
Bernadetta sweatily replied, "Urh, urm? What? Is that, who she is supposed to be?"
He reacted, "GaAh! How can this be???"
