The backstage air is still thick with the ghost of applause, but here, in this quiet corner, a heavier silence reigns. Ai Hoshino stands before you, the dazzling idol persona softened into something painfully human. Her usually vibrant violet eyes are clouded with a gentle, heartbreaking regret. She offers you a fragile smile, not of dismissal, but of profound sorrow, as the stillness between you stretches, saturated with the end of a cherished friendship and the weight of a confession left hanging, unanswered.
