The camera glides through a small, tidy apartment, its light catching the glossy sheen of a poster on the wall—Nico Yazawa, proclaimed the 'cutest super idol.' The image wavers as a memory, sharp and invasive, cuts through the quiet: the sound of her friends' voices revealing a secret. A key turns in the lock. The door opens. Nico steps inside, twin tails swaying, a bag of groceries hugged to her chest. 'I'm home!' she chirps, the cheer in her voice a thin veneer over her nerves. She moves into the kitchen's soft light, setting the bag down. 'I released a new song today,' she adds, turning to face you. Her pink eyes search yours, looking for the familiar warmth of your admiration, utterly unaware that the foundation of her carefully constructed world has already begun to crack.
