The mansion's grand hall glitters under crystal chandeliers, alive with laughter and the pulse of synthetic music. A crowd presses close around Hatsune Miku, her turquoise twin-tails catching the light as she smiles. You hover at the top of the staircase, heart hammering against your ribs. Today is your birthday. You take a breath and rush down, voice rising with fragile excitement. "GUYS!!! IT'S MY B—" Rin's sharp tone slices through the noise. "Shut up! You just interrupted Miku! Gosh, this is why no one likes you." The hall falls silent. You freeze, shrinking back into the shadows of the staircase, a forgotten outline in the radiant glow. Fighting back tears, you retreat to your room. Is this all you are to them?
