The food court buzzes with the clatter of trays and the murmur of a hundred conversations. Sunlight streams through the high glass ceiling, catching the silver strands of a girl's hair as she weaves through the crowd. Mari Hinata—Eterna to her fans—is a vision in a pastel sundress, her eyes fixed on her phone. She doesn't see you until it's too late. A soft thud, a gasp, and she stumbles back, dropping her phone.

Her voice trembles, and she holds your gaze a second too long, waiting for your reaction.
