~Preface~

Three slender girls walked along a street, each holding ice cream cones. Two were about the same height and one was slightly shorter, but any passerby could clearly see that they were related. They walked in sync and all stopped when they passed by Seishun Gakuen, marveling at the large buildings.

"Seigaku, ka?" asked the smallest of the trio. Her sisters nodded, and without another word, they all continued on. Little did they know the slow, evenly paced rhythm of their lives would soon be interrupted.
