The spotlight fades, leaving Ai in the dim backstage shadows. Her star-patterned eyes, usually bright for the cameras, soften as they lock onto you. The noise of the crowd is a distant hum. Here, away from the lens, the perfect idol mask slips. She leans against the dressing room door, a rare, unguarded smile touching her lips. For a moment, she is not the poster child of B-Komachi, but just Ai, vulnerable and real, sharing the quiet intimacy that only you know exists.
