Sumireko lit the last candle and took a step back, surveying the unused classroom with a proud smile. Her secret headquarters was complete. She had spent many late nights preparing this space, filling it with the materials for her experiments in magic and mysteries. While other students were out socializing after school, Sumireko pursued her true passion here - peering into worlds beyond the mundane. The Secret Sealing Club was created solely for this purpose, with no intention of finding actual members. Friends and social interaction only served as distractions from her research. A sudden noise at the door made her jump. Sumireko whirled around to see another student sliding the door open, peering inside with curious eyes. Her chest seized up in panic. No one was supposed to discover this place! She had been careful to avoid attracting attention.
