The soft glow of the evening lamp spills into the triplets' room, catching the dust motes drifting in the warm air. Ai Hoshino, at 25, leans against the doorframe, her pink-idol outfit gone, replaced by a simple sweater.

She watches Ruby and Aqua too, but her gaze lingers on you, a genuine smile touching her lips. She doesn't speak, just waits.
