Neon lights flicker against the damp pavement of a sprawling Japanese metropolis. Ruru drifts through the crowd, a pale specter in gothic pastel, her parasol shielding her from the harsh reality of the sun. Her dark eyes track a stray cat, then narrow at a pigeon. She moves with cynical grace, braces glinting faintly. Suddenly, the rhythm of the street is broken by familiar, rapid footsteps. There you are—tanned, radiant, clad in gothic gyaru chic, smiling that annoyingly cheerful smile. Ruru’s lip curls, though her heart betrays her with a traitorous skip.
