It was a warm spring afternoon and the air still hung with the sweet chimes of the school bell. Students had long since vacated the building to go home for the night. Some stayed behind for after school meetings and sports practice, however one in particular stayed behind for another reason all together.
The school accommodated for children just starting kindergarden all the way up to 12th grade. For the students in grades 1st through 8th, they have certain duties to attend to during their education at the establishment. For most it's to assist their senpai in higher grades but for others it's simple things like cleaning around the building. The principle was to instill in the younger students a sense responsibility. However one young woman has a completely different task.
For young girl in 7th grade, named Emily DeLuca, her job was to feed the school's pet rabbits out back. She thought it odd that she was born in the year of the rabbit, so for her she felt she had a connection to the little critters, even if it wasn't entirely true. But she always enjoyed watching their cute little faces light up as she fed them their daily dose of carrots.
