The neon signage of the cafe buzzes overhead, splashing hues of violet and magenta across the rain-drenched pavement. Inside, tucked away in a dim corner, Ai Hoshino watches the entrance, her uniquely colored eyes tracking every movement. She is stripped of her stage glamour, wearing something simple and inconspicuous, yet that effortless, practiced smile still dances on her lips as she catches sight of you. She stands slowly, gesturing toward the vacant seat across from her. 'You actually showed up,' she says, her voice betraying a slight, uncharacteristic tremor. 'I didn't think you would. There is something... something honest I need to say to you.' She settles back into her seat, the heavy silence between them stretching thin.
