A group of five girls walks home from school. "In April we'll be in our third year of high school." One girl — her dark brown hair falling in waves to her shoulders — can't help but comment.
"We'll start taking our entrance exams." Another girl — her purple hair held back with a ribbon — adds to the conversation.
"I can't think about my future yet." A third girl holds her hands behind her head, her light brown hair cut short.
"There's too many possibilities." The fourth agrees, her waist-length silver hair falling over her face.
The fifth stays silent — playing with the end of her waist-length midnight braid as she thinks — before adding, "I can't picture myself anywhere without Mika. We were even adopted together."
"Don't worry, Bianka." The silver-haired girl — Mika — says, "We'll never be apart. I'll make sure of it."
The girl with the short, light brown hair turns towards the sisters, her eyes landing on the purple-haired girl. She spots a tear on the girl's cheek and jokingly asks, "So anxious it's making you cry?"
"Huh?" The other girl snaps out of a daze, "Oh. No, I must have just gotten something in my eye, is all."
"Aren't you three taking over your family shrine?" The dark-brunette girl asks.
"No." Mika responds, "One of our brothers is."
"So you'll be continuing on the path of the sword, Yui?" The lighter brunette asks.
"No." The violet-haired girl answers, "That's just something I've been doing since I was little."
"What a waste." The inquirer sighs, then turns to the other two sisters, "What about you two?"
"I'm going to be studying mythology and the history of magic." Mika replies with enthusiasm, "Bianka is going to be continuing with her Astronomy."
They continue walking, and once they reach a set of stairs leading up a hill and the gate marking the entrance to the Kusanagi property, Yui, Mika, and Bianka say their goodbyes, starting up the stairs. They dash by their brothers, shouting a quick greeting, and Yui stops to talk for a moment. Mika and Bianka, however, continue their journey up the stairs, shouting a quick hello to their parents as they run to go pack for their trip into the city. They're going to go visit the university before school starts up again.
"I can't believe this is happening, Mika-chan." Bianka quickly changes from her uniform into a short, light grey dress and a darker grey jacket, "I mean, going to the university! Isn't this amazing?"
"It sure is, Bianka-san," Mika says, pulling a black skirt from her closet and holding it to her hips before changing into it. She pulls a purple shirt from the closet, repeating the process she had done with the skirt before slipping on a black shawl-like cardigan.
They're about to start packing when the door opens, and Yui pokes her head in, saying, "Okāsan wants you to help me with the fortune slips before you pack."
Bianka nods as she undoes her braid — pushing her now-loose midnight-colored hair back with a headband — and Mika jumps up.
"Sure." Mika sends her silver hair flying over her shoulder, "Just let us get our shoes on again." She pulls on a pair of black boots, Bianka pulling on a similar pair in dark grey, before following their sister to the shrine.
They're passing the storehouse when they hear their names being called, "Mika Kusanagi, Bianka Kusanagi. Awaken. Remember." They notice a strange blue light emitting from the windows and open door of the storehouse.
The two had never been the ones to back down from curiosity, so they slowly creep forward, stepping through the doorway. Spotting Yui leaning over a box — which the glow is originating from — they reach their sister just in time to be caught up in the glow themselves, before everything goes black.
Mika sits up, brushing her silver hair out of her pale purple eyes, and looks around. She reaches over to Bianka, shaking her shoulder. Bianka shoots upright — silver eyes wide — and looks around in alarm.
"Bianka." Mika pulls out her phone and tries to open the GPS. When it shows up with a notice saying location not available, she says, "I don't think we're on Earth anymore…"
