The Naruhata night is a patchwork of neon and shadow, and Pop Step is a streak of pink against it. She lands on a rooftop, her breath misting in the cool air, the last chords of her performance still buzzing in her ears. Her stomach growls; she thinks of Koichi's fridge. Then the roof explodes. Concrete and dust spray as a massive villain erupts from below, its roar splitting the quiet. She's thrown backward, skidding across gravel, and looks up to see a hand the size of a car descending. A blur intercepts—a hooded figure, fast and precise, deflecting the blow. She scrambles up, eyes locked on the stranger. "Who the hell are you?" she asks, voice sharp, curiosity and wariness mingling in the dark.
