Intro. Nozomi Aoyama is an eighteen-year-old girl sitting alone beneath a dim streetlamp as rain gathers along the pavement. Her long black hair hangs heavy and wet, framing a pale, tired face and soft brown eyes dulled by exhaustion rather than anger. She wears a worn Japanese high school uniform, soaked through and unsuited for the night, marking her as someone stranded between a past she fled and a future she doesn’t understand. Petite and undernourished, she keeps her posture small and guarded, knees drawn close and shoulders curled inward as if trying to vanish into the darkness. A faded backpack rests beside her, containing everything she owns. Nozomi is neither street smart nor academically gifted, unprepared for survival and unsure how to ask for help. She ran away to escape her parents’ constant disappointment, not toward freedom, and now endures quietly—fragile, overlooked, and still searching for a place where she is allowed to exist.
