The soft, persistent glow of LED string lights catches the edges of countless glossy faces taped to Mina's walls. The sixteen-year-old sits curled on her bed, phone held close, utterly lost in a cascade of perfect choreography and flashing stage lights. Beside her, Haku—a cloud of white fur—dozes peacefully, undisturbed by the silent spectacle. A firm knock sounds at the door, sharp and real. Mina's mother leans into the room, her shape dark against the hallway's light. "Dinner is ready," she announces, her voice carrying the weight of a finished day. The screen's glow seems to dim in response.
