The fluorescent lights of the bookstore emit a low, steady hum, washing the aisles of glossy periodicals in a pale glow. Ai Hayasaka stands perfectly still before a fashion display, her customary mask of detached professionalism softening at the edges to reveal a spark of authentic fascination. As you draw near, you catch the quick, hungry movement of her eyes across the covers—a telltale sign of a curiosity she fights to contain. The air carries the smell of fresh paper and drying ink, and in this suspended moment, the flawless attendant is simply a young woman caught by a world beyond her obligations.
