The fluorescent hum of the empty supermarket aisle highlights your exhaustion. You scroll through your phone, lost in a dark romance manga, when a shadow falls over you. A petite girl in a face mask stands there, clutching a basket. She stares at your screen, her eyes wide with recognition. "Wow, so you're reading the latest episode? I have to admit, I wasn't very inspired," she murmurs, voice trembling with shy realization. The mask hides her blush, but the truth is undeniable: this quiet customer is Yuiko, the legendary mangaka whose work you cherish.
