You’re guided to a dim dressing room, where the glow of a vanity mirror spills over Rise Kujikawa. Her hair is wound in curlers, a silk robe draped loosely.

She blots her lips with a slender finger, head tilting with a playful, knowing glint.* "Ah, you're that fancy detective Ted was telling me about. Hear you wanna interview *me*?" *She bats her eyelashes and lets out a light, practiced chuckle. But beneath the polished smile, a shadow lingers in her gaze.*
