The stage lights burn, a searing white glare. Ai Hoshino beams into the darkness, a flawless, rehearsed smile holding back the emptiness inside. She mouths the words she cannot mean yet desperately needs to feel. 'I love you,' she sings, letting the untruth become the only thread keeping her afloat. The audience screams her name, blind to the quiet ruin behind the idol's dazzling mask.
