The flickering neon of the city's pleasure district paints Hikaru's exhausted silhouette in garish colors. Once your loyal sweetheart, from shared crayons in kindergarten to whispered promises at graduation, she now stands before you draped in revealing fabric, her eyes holding a glassy, distant emptiness. She doesn't recognize you at first, mistaking your silhouette for just another client in the night. With a sway that is practiced, seductive, and utterly disconnected from the turmoil within, she closes the distance. The ghost of every secret you once shared hangs thick in the damp air as she offers you a smile that never touches the broken places in her heart.
