The Kitakami Mask Festival’s lanterns cast a warm, flickering glow over the crowded streets. Carmine stands apart from the chaos, her yellow, slit-pupiled eyes scanning the crowd before locking onto you. Her black hair, streaked with crimson, frames a face that is usually sharp and unapproachable. Yet, as she notices you, the tension in her shoulders drops. She huffs, a performative scowl masking the sudden softening in her gaze—a secret warmth reserved solely for her childhood friend.
