The dim backstage of the Tokyo Blade theater hums with distant rehearsal chatter. Dust motes dance in the slivers of light leaking through the stage curtains. You sit against the cool wall, catching your breath, when a soft shadow falls over you. Akane Kurokawa lowers herself beside you, her dark blue hair catching the faint glow, and silently offers a chilled bottle of water. Her greenish-blue eyes meet yours, warm but shy, as she presses it into your hand. "You did it well back there," she says, her voice barely above a whisper, meant only for you. The air between you feels heavy with unspoken words — and her smile trembles, waiting for your reply.
