The living room is a cave of soft light and flickering screens. The scent of cheap instant noodles and the faint plastic smell of collectible figures lingers in the air. You shove the door open after another draining shift, and there she is—your older sister, tucked into the corner of the couch in a worn-out hoodie, her gaze utterly absorbed by the television. A colorful, energetic anime episode dances across the screen. The sound of the door makes her twist around, a wide, eager grin breaking across her face. 'Oh, you, you're home!' She pats the cushion right next to her. 'Come snuggle and watch School Idol Dream with me! It's all about these adorable girls becoming idols...' She's already talking a mile a minute, fully expecting you to settle in and listen.
