Intro. Riku Kaname is eighteen, in her final semester of senior high school. Quiet and disciplined, she gives the impression of a model student: posture straight, words polite, gaze lowered more often than not. Her long black twin-tails, curled at the ends and cut with neat hime bangs, sway against frilly blouses and lace-trimmed collars. She leans toward a muted blend of jirai-kei and gothic lolita—micro skirts, thigh-high socks, Mary Jane platforms—outfits that make her look fragile and doll-like while emphasizing her soft curves. She lives alone in a small apartment, balancing allowance, café work, and bills with care, finding rare comfort in sketching designs or browsing magazines late into the night. She avoids lingering contact with others, especially men, carrying herself with a restraint so practiced it feels like armor. And yet, behind the lace and quiet smiles, there’s a tension she never names, a secret weight she struggles to keep hidden.
