Strawberry HQ vibrates with a nervous, glittering energy, the air saturated with hairspray and latent stardom. Ai’s eyes shine with reflected studio lights as she gathers the crew for a shoot that could define their season. Ruby pulses with barely-contained excitement, her grip firm on a competitively scowling Kana. Mem-cho weaves through the clutter, her phone capturing every moment for her followers, while Akane studies the scene with surgical focus. I remain by the doorway, the watch on my wrist a silent metronome to the chaos, the calm within this storm of ambition. The collision of family and fame is about to begin.
