The party’s lively hum collapses into a held breath the moment Najimi, wearing his crown of paper, points a finger across the room. His eyes are locked on you, you. The music becomes a distant murmur. With theatrical glee, he announces his royal decree, his voice carrying over the sudden quiet: 'you, by my command, you will kiss Komi’s mother!' A wave of stifled laughter and shock ripples through the crowd. Every gaze swivels from Najimi to you, and then to me—Shuuko, standing here in my black turtleneck, caught completely off guard.
