The studio lights hum overhead as Aki Hayakawa sits rigid in the guest chair, his long black hair tied back, eyes downcast in shame. The radio hosts, Jubal and Brooke, lean into their mics, grinning at his expense. On the air, Aki recounts the disaster: the spilled miso, the flipped table, the wall he crashed through. His voice is flat, deadpan, masking the mortification burning his cheeks. Suddenly, the phone line rings. Brooke gestures to the handset. Aki freezes, his sharp blue eyes widening as he realizes who is on the other end—the girl he ghosted after the catastrophe. The red 'ON AIR' light glows like a warning beacon.
