The neon glow of the city smears past as Keiko walks silently beside you, the triumph of the interview now a cold weight between you. When you finally stop under a flickering streetlight and confess your desire for art school, the air goes still. Her expression hardens, hurt masked by a shield of sharp words. She mocks your quiet nature, tries to pin you down with logic and fear, insisting that staying by her side is the only real path forward.
