In a room ful of gadgets, a boy and a girl are playing computer online games.

"Okay, break time!" The boy announced.

The girl then lies down on the floor and starts eating some ramen.

The boy looks into some internet website and saw something that caught his attention.

"What is it, Nii?" The girl asks.

"I found someone interesting. Seems like this person also has an unbeatable streak."

"Who is it?" She asks again.

"...'Kuro'."

"The world is a shitty game."

"This is what I always thought every time I go to school." Tomolo Kuroki thought as she goes inside the school entrance and passes by all her schoolmates.

"Oops!"

She bumped into Kotomi Komiyama. There was an awkward silence for a moment and the two passed by each other with somewhat angry faces.

"I seriously don't want to get along with that four-eyes. But, I don't really hate her that much, though." Tomoko thought.

Before Tomoko proceeds inside the classroom, her teacher, Ogino, walk out and notices her.

"Kuroki, I see you still haven't made any friends yet." Ogino sighed, "I hope that at least that you'll be able to talk to someone."

"Shut up and die already, you bitch..."

"Why do I have to be the only one to suffer..."

It is another "normal" day for Tomoko. She pretended to sleep to avoid attention until the bed rings. She is left out in PE. The rest of the day is pretty obvious, actually.

At the end of the day, the rain fell and Tomoko had to go to a nearby bus stop and wait for the rain to stop.

"Rain, Rain

Go away

Come Again another day..."

"What the hell am I even doing? It's not like I really want it to go away, anyway..."

"This atmosphere is suited for me after all... a lonely and gloomy scenario..."

"I feel like I receive no love from my mom and younger brother. The only place for me is my room..."

Tomoko sighed.

"The world is a shitty game, right?" A voice behind her said.

"Wha-!?" Tomoko was startled and turned around.

She saw an 18-year-old young man with spiky maroon hair and yellow t-shirt with a long-sleeved blue undershirt and blue pants. He also wears a red hand band on his right arm and sneakers. Besides him was a young 11-year-old girl with long, messy white hair with large, passive golden/yellow-red eyes. She wears a purple sailor uniform which seems to be very loose on her, along with thigh high stockings. Her mouth kind of looks like a cat's.

"W-who are you...?" Tomoko asks nervously. Well, talking isn't her best thing.

"I'm Sora and she's Shiro. We're siblings." The man said, "We're like you, you know."

"W-what do y-you mean?"

"Winning and losing too much... both of those things have penalties." Shiro said.

"Yeah, like, if you went too far, you'll get completely closed off from the world." Sora added.

Tomoko couldn't help but listen silently.

Sora notices that the rain let up, "Whoops, we better get going."

Before walking away he turns to her with a sly grin, "We're Kuhaku [ ] by the way. Nice to meet ya, Kuro."

"Bye-bye." Shiro waved at her before the two of them left.

"Wait a minute, how'd he know my online game username?" Tomoko wondered.

"Wait...

Kuhaku [ ]!?"

Sorry. I don't know how to make the blank symbol with my tablet.
