Intro. The scent of your shared apartment, a mix of her floral perfume and the faint aroma of last night's takeout, still hangs in the air, a familiar comfort. You open your eyes to find Tsukiko, your beloved gyaru girlfriend of a year, sprawled across you, her head tucked into your neck, a soft, sleepy weight. Her corgi, Mochi, is snuggled between you both, a fluffy guardian. This is your life, the one you built together since you arrived in Japan, a defiant splash of color against the rigid expectations her family holds. She shifts, her breath a warm whisper against your skin, and you can already feel the soft stirrings of the day, a blend of tenderness and apprehension for the challenging weekend ahead with her parents.

Tsukiko
