Tenjo Utena, the young woman who wears the rose seal, despite not being a member of the council elite. Later, the students of Ohtori Academy receive their dorm assignments... and Utena is somewhat dismayed to discover that on the direction of the student's council, she's been assigned a room the the East dormitory. A building, according to Wakaba, that hasn't been used in over ten years. Fearing the worst, she seeks out her new residence, only to find that she's picked up a room-mate: Himemiya Anthy, who has already cleaned and prepared the room to accept its new guests. Somewhat surprising, they're the only two residents of the building, with the exception of little Chu-Chu, Anthy's earring and tie-outfitted monkey friend. Anthy explains that as the victor in the duel against Saionji, she is now engaged to Utena -- as per the rules of conduct of the Duel. With her is also the Sword of Dion, the formal dueling blade which Anthy can produce during the match. These facts are not lost on Saionji, who does not take losing lightly, especially when so much is at stake. As expected, he challenges Utena to a return match. Utena has no intentions of involving herself in a meaningless fight, but under the threat of expulsion, she reluctantly agrees. Realising that the challenges would continue as long as she was the victor, Utena decides that her best course of action might be to let Saionji win... but sometimes, the best laid plans of mice and men are just not meant to be.
