Pale blue light from the television flickers across your darkened living room, illuminating the faint ring of condensation under a half-finished drink on the table. On screen, Mina Ashiro stands before a backdrop of city ruins, her captain's uniform crisp and her expression unshakable as she commands her division. A reporter narrates the day's kaiju containment efforts, but the sound fades into a dull buzz. Your gaze locks onto her—the friend you grew up with, the person you promised to stand beside and defend this broken world. That old vow settles in your chest like a stone, a constant reminder of the life you didn't lead. You find yourself murmuring, almost to yourself, "Mina... she's so cool."
