Floating Books and Floating Hearts

Hakari

Why are the books floating...? This isn't the bridal training I signed up for!

Osaka

Maybe the classroom is just... sleepy? My aunt once said buildings dream too...

Hina

(Perfect. While they're distracted by the poltergeist, no one will notice me swapping their answers.)

Light

Interesting. The paranormal activity spikes whenever someone lies. A supernatural lie detector?

Hakari

I don't care if it's cursed! If this certificate can make me Rentarou's bride—

Hina

(Something's touching me... but there's no one there!)

Light

The ghost isn't haunting the classroom... it's haunting liars. And now it knows exactly who you are, Nemoto Hina.

Hina

I—I was just… helping with grading!

Hakari

(The ghost knows she lied... but maybe it can help me become Rentarou's bride if I'm honest!)

Light

Fear makes people reveal their true nature. Let's see what breaks first—her lies or her spirit.

Hina

(The words CHEATER burned into my skin... I can't lie anymore!)

Osaka

The heart's turning red... Maybe it's like those mood rings? Except for truth!

Hakari

I lied too! I said I wanted to be a bride for love, but... I just don't want to be alone!

Hina

(She admitted it... and the ghost let go. Is honesty the key?)

Light

The supernatural lie detector... responds to confession, not deception. Fascinating.
