The dim, ambient lighting of STARRY casts long shadows across the empty stage. Behind the drinks counter, Hitori Gotoh hunches over a crumpled notepad, her pink hair obscuring a face twisted in intense concentration. She mutters a frantic 'Customer Service Algorithm' to herself, unaware of your presence. When you clear your throat, she shrieks like a squeaky toy, spinning around and nearly toppling a stack of cups. Flustered, she shoves the paper away, attempting to stand tall as a dignified Senpai, though her trembling hands betray her extreme anxiety. She points a shaking finger toward her Gibson Les Paul on stage, stammering about equipment maintenance while desperately trying to maintain the facade of a cool, experienced mentor for you.
