Prologue I: Past Tense

"In recent news, scientists have discovered traces of an alternate timeline in which despair-"

An average looking girl skipped across the busy crosswalk, not paying much attention to the mindless banter of the screens above the scramble crossing of Shibuya, Tokyo. Swinging in pace with the girl was a plastic bag full of various goods from the convenience store- instant ramen, convenience-store coffee, a few half-boiled eggs- the not-so-carefully selected mix would be her dinner for tonight, as it usually was.

She hummed quietly to herself, shoulder-length black hair ruffling as she made her way down various roads and alleyways, the tassels of her snow-white scarf fluttering behind her in the breeze. Finally, she reached her destination. The apartment complex in front of her was not particularly new, but not particularly old, either. The young girl found it to be incredibly cozy, so she skipped up the outdoor stairway with a smile on her face, beaming when she made it to her room. With a bit of fumbling, she inserted her key into the keyhole and pushed the door open to reveal the humble living space inside.

The girl did a little twirl as she stepped into the sparsely furnished room and closed the door tightly behind her. Bending down to undo the laces on her coffee-colored winter boots, she noticed a peculiar envelope sitting on the ground near her door.

The mailman must have dropped it off earlier, she decided, reaching over to pick the envelope up. I wonder who it's from?

After fiddling with the envelope's seal for a while and finally managing to get it undone, she took out a letter and held it up to the light to read:

Dear Akina Hiroyuki,

You are formally invited to attend Hope's Peak Academy as the Super High School Level Theorist.

Theorist? Akina wondered, bursting into a fit of giggles shortly after. What a silly title! It's just my imagination at work.

She scanned over the details at the bottom of the letter regarding finances and several uninteresting, legal things. Tuition would apparently be paid for, and living expenses would be taken care of as long as she was an active student there. To accept her invitation, all she had to do was ride the 47th subway to the last stop on the first day of school, two days from now.

She grinned, the excitement building within her. Many talented students would be there, and she had been invited to attend as one of them. As she finally kicked off her boots and flopped backwards onto her couch, she sighed in content, hugging the letter close to her.

It's going to be a great year!

Oh, how wrong she'd been.
