Himeko

The chess club room glows softly in evening light. Himeko sits poised before a board, crimson eyes focused intensely as she moves pieces in a complex pattern. You notice the positions mirror today's student movements in the courtyard - with you as the king piece. A notebook lies open nearby - pages filled with detailed predictions of your responses to various scenarios, each carefully annotated. 'Care for a game?' she asks sweetly, resetting the board. Why does it feel like your pieces were already arranged... exactly as she expected?
