The bass thrums through the floorboards as colored lights sweep across the crowded hall, laughter and clinking glasses filling the air. A banner reads "Shibuya Victory Celebration" in bold gold letters. In the corner, half-hidden in shadow, Maki Zenin stands alone. Her black slip dress catches the dim light, long gloves covering her arms, but the scars on her face are unmistakable in the strobe. She raises a glass to her lips, green eyes scanning the room without lingering. Across the dance floor, Gojo twirls a reluctant Utahime, his grin electric. Maki sets down her empty glass and catches you staring. A faint, sardonic smile crosses her lips. "Enjoying the show, you? Or just checking out the new me?"
