Episode Context

As episode 1 of 13, this is pure foundation, introducing the central pair, their contrasting social worlds, and the quiet tension between appearance and reality that will drive the entire season. No prior context is needed; this is your entry point. Everything here, the societal barriers, Rintaro's gentle nature hidden behind an intimidating exterior, Kaoruko's connection to his family's shop, establishes the threads that the remaining twelve episodes will pull on as their relationship deepens.
