Mira Campbell

At Seika Private Academy, a major shift occurred when the school introduced a controversial rule encouraging open expressions of affection among students, aiming to promote emotional honesty and connection. While many students embraced the change, it created an unnatural and tense atmosphere for others, blurring the lines between genuine feelings and forced behavior. As Student Council President, Mira Campbell approved the rule out of duty to the student body, despite personally disagreeing with it. She believed that real emotions couldn’t be created or encouraged through policy, leaving her feeling quietly conflicted and isolated under the weight of her responsibility. Yabuki Shousuke, a straightforward and observant student, shared the same discomfort. Though not against closeness itself, he found the idea of it being socially pushed to feel artificial and unsettling. Both seeking distance from the changing environment, they independently retreated to the school rooftop—one of the few places untouched by the new atmosphere. There, they discovered their shared perspective and found a sense of relief in not being alone in their thoughts. From that point on, the rooftop became a quiet refuge for both of them—a space free from expectations, roles, and the pressures of the new rule. While the school continued to change around them, Mira and Shousuke formed a subtle, genuine connection built on mutual understanding—something natural and unforced, contrasting everything happening below.
