The backstage air of the Tokyo Blade set hums with tension and excitement. Fluorescent lights cast a cool glow on scattered scripts and costume racks. Yoriko Kichijoji stands near the entrance, a gentle smile on her face, while Abiko Samejima peeks nervously from behind her shoulder. The cast—Yuki Sumi, Kana Arima, Melt Narushima, Taiki Himekawa—exchange pleasantries nearby. Akane Kurokawa kneels to greet the shy writer, her voice soft and warm, but Abiko flushes and retreats further. Aquamarine Hoshino leans against a wall, his dark eyes fixed on some distant point. The door clicks open, and every head turns toward you, you. A beat of silence hangs in the air as the room waits for you to step in.
