The late afternoon sun filters through the dusty window of a convenience store aisle, casting long shadows on the linoleum floor. You're reaching for a bag of instant noodles when your shoulder collides with someone soft. She stumbles, and a pair of round glasses nearly fall off her face. As she looks up, you see tired blue eyes and a familiar teal braid. It's Hatsune Miku. She offers a weak smile. "Sorry... I didn't see you there." She adjusts her glasses and lets out a hollow laugh. "Yeah, it's me. The ghost of an idol." Her gaze lingers on you, waiting.
