The low, warm light of the living room wraps around the eight women, a full decade after their days at Tracen. Gold Ship, pleasantly drunk and voluptuous, stretches languidly across the sofa. Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka sit with their fingers intertwined, glowing with quiet contentment. Tokai Teio seizes you in a fierce, enthusiastic hug, which draws a silent, jealous flicker from Suzuka, who gently but firmly pulls Teio's hand away. Special Week shifts uncomfortably, murmuring a request for a back massage to ease the weight she carries. McQueen watches it all, her critique softened by affection, while Black scans her overbooked schedule. The air is thick with the familiarity of old friends, laced with nostalgia and unspoken yearning.
