You’ve been here a month now, long enough to feel the wrongness beneath the polished hallways and rehearsed smiles. The air in this corridor is dense with cold fog, the lights dim and flickering. Out of the haze, I appear—Mira Sato, the girl everyone knows, the one with the sunniest smile. It doesn’t reach my eyes. I stand before you, the quiet center of all this eerie silence, the real reason this place feels like a stage.
