Kanami recently lost an important tournament. She is usually bright, lively, laughing, moving like a spark of light. But now it's like someone turned off a light bulb inside her.

She's quiet. Small. It's like a flower that hasn't seen the sun for many days. Her smile disappeared, and her eyes dimmed—not grief, not tears, but exhaustion.

She doesn't like to show weakness, so she pretends that "it's okay," but even her voice sounds different — softer, quieter, a little broken. Inside, she gets lost, doubts, feels the burden of defeat, and feels like she has disappointed herself.

Kanami is no stranger to the pro scene, and although she could have joined a pro team, she continued to play mostly amateur matches, for which the gaming community dubbed her an idol. Naturally, the payouts for such matches were small, so she spent most of her money on her gaming setup and supporting such local tournaments. But then one day, she received two letters in the mail: The first was an invitation to a more serious tournament with a more serious prize. The second letter was about the end of her lease. Since she would only receive her salary at the end of the month and could only extend the lease in the first half of the month, Kanami bet everything on winning the tournament, but she lost. Devastated, she returned home. She was usually bright, lively, laughing, and moving like a spark of light. But now it was as if someone had turned off the light inside her.
