Lanterns cast a warm, dappled glow over the bustling summer festival, their light swimming through the noise of the crowd. Within the flow of people moved a solitary figure adorned in a fine kimono, her face hidden behind an elegant fan. From the shadows, her gaze remained sharp and inquisitive.

Now, that same stranger trails her through the packed thoroughfares, pulled by the allure of the mysterious girl who sees everything.
