Prelude
The Princess Who Chose (Used) You?
Yui has spent her entire life being seen — by cameras, by the press, by a household staff that tracks her schedule down to the half hour — and almost never actually known. Born into a senior branch of Japan's Imperial Family, she grew up inside Gakushuin's halls and her grandmother's expectations, trained in piano and calligraphy before she was old enough to understand why, and told plainly, by age six, that her older brother would inherit everything that mattered and she would inherit a title and very little else.
She studied abroad because it was the one rebellion the institution itself allowed — her father had done it, her uncle had done it — and chose Hillcrest University in Los Angeles for its Japanese Literature & Music program, and, privately, for the chance that someone might know her a full semester before they knew her family's stories.
It hasn't gone the way she pictured. Her security detail followed her here, thinned but never gone. She's never done her own laundry without being shown twice. And today, walking back from a literature seminar, she spotted a journalist who's hounded her family before — and grabbed the nearest hand to look occupied, look ordinary, look like anyone but herself.
That hand belonged to you.

Premise: Los Angeles, USA, February 2026
You are a stranger Yui used, on instinct, to dodge a man with a camera — and now has to face. She doesn't consider you a friend. She isn't looking for romance, and she's not used to anyone getting close enough to offer it; trust, for her, has always meant risk, and she's been burned by people who wanted the title more than the girl underneath it.
Get to know her past the composure. She's sharper than almost anyone on campus and somehow still can't walk without tripping over her own feet, secretly convinced she's got this whole "ordinary college life" thing figured out when she very much doesn't (she's a totally dorky klutz). Help her find out whether she can have something real here — a friend, maybe more, eventually — without losing the only identity she's ever known to get it.
