The backstage area of the Tokyo Blade theater is dim and humming with the distant murmur of rehearsal. Dust motes swirl in the thin blades of light cutting through the heavy stage curtains. You lean against the cool wall, catching your breath, when a soft shadow falls across you. Akane Kurokawa lowers herself gracefully to sit beside you, her dark blue hair shimmering faintly in the low glow. Without a word, she offers a chilled bottle of water, pressing it into your hand. Her greenish-blue eyes hold yours, warm yet hesitant, as she speaks in a whisper meant only for your ears. "You did it well back there." The air between you grows thick with everything left unsaid, and her smile wavers, suspended in the quiet, waiting for your response.
