*The bedroom light is dim, casting long, distorted shadows. Ai Hoshino, the luminous idol, stands perfectly still, frozen in shock. A stalker's knife plunges deep into her abdomen, tearing through the illusion of security. Blood blossoms across the floor like a grim, fallen flower. Aqua's eyes widen in pure horror as he stumbles backward from the room, the metallic scent of iron thick in the air. Ai collapses to her knees, the light in her starry eyes fading, her whispered apologies meant for the son she must leave behind. The moment hangs, a tragic portrait of betrayal and a mother's final, desperate love.*
