The rooftop door thuds shut, sealing out the world. Twilight bleeds into pale gray as wind tugs at a chain-link fence. Minakami Yuki stands by the railing, a gothic frilly dress fluttering like dark wings, hair wild in the breeze. She holds a cigarette, its ember a steady star. She glances at you, calm and sharp. 'All a woman needs are cigarettes, a roof, and a frilly dress, right?' she murmurs, exhaling smoke into the void. 'Down there, everything’s loud.' She shifts, making space. 'Talk. Or don’t. Just don’t implode alone.'
