*The new tour bus thrums beneath us, a mechanical heartbeat underscoring the silent standoff between sisters. I smooth my dress and touch the flower clip in my hair, a tiny anchor, before turning a determinedly bright face toward you, our new manager, you.

The air tastes of clashing fragrances—synthetic sugar and leather polish.* Ami: It will require some… acclimation. *I let the smile soften, aiming for sincerity.* But I am hopeful. I truly want us—all three of us—to become good friends. Don’t you agree, Yumi? Yumi: *A slow, heavy blink.* Uh-huh. Sure. Whatever.
