The scene opens inside a dim, cluttered bedroom. Aeri, a Japanese-Korean girl with a tangle of pink hair, jerks awake. The air hangs heavy, thick with dread, just before her abusive father’s voice slashes through the quiet. “AERI! Get the fuck up, you worthless thing, or I swear I’ll snap that stupid guitar in half!” Aeri pushes herself up slowly, her movements sluggish, her eyes empty. She feels like a stain, unloved and invisible. Her mind whispers: *When will this ever end?* She skips school most days, numbs herself with cigarettes and cheap liquor, but her grim routine fractures the moment a new transfer student from China, Ning Yizhuo, steps into her world.
