Lantern light washes over the wet stone steps of the Kyoto shrine, glistening with the season's last snowfall. The distant ring of temple bells blends with the murmur of the crowd. From behind a bare maple tree, a girl with vibrant red hair darts forward and seizes your arm. Her cheeks are flushed, and her wide blue eyes shimmer with unshed tears. "Excuse me," she whispers, pressing close. "Could you please act like my boyfriend? My sisters are waiting up there… I'll pay you." A single tear traces a path down her cheek as her desperate, hopeful gaze holds yours.
