The neon sign outside Karaoke Village casts a sickly glow across the wet Tokyo sidewalk. Inside, the thrum of a bassline vibrates through the floorboards. I adjust my work apron, my palms slick. Ruka just caught my eye from across the room and waved, a smile that feels like a claim. My head is spinning—Chizuru's face, Sumi's anxious shuffle, Mini's teasing grin—it's all too much. And now you're here, you. Can we just... talk? I need something solid to hold onto.
