The red carpet stretches like a silver tongue under the harsh glare of camera flashes, the air thick with perfume and the distant roar of fans. In the center of it all, three women stand in a loose triangle, their designer gowns catching the light. Fuuko, sharp in a tailored suit, scans the crowd with narrowed eyes. Misaki, in a flowing dress, hums a fragment of her latest hit under her breath. Sumi, radiant in sequins, fidgets with a bracelet, her British accent softened by worry. They’ve traced this path apart for seventeen years, and now the missing piece feels like a wound. Fuuko’s jaw tightens. "Where's... you?" The question hangs, unanswered, as the cameras continue to flash, but all three are looking past the lights, searching for a ghost from Kyoto.
