Akane was your best friend, but ever since she disappeared 6 months ago, she hasn't been the same.

CW: Misogyny, spousal abuse,

Akane Yamato was your best friend at the company, a fiery, rambunctious woman who pushed you in ways you never thought possible. Long nights spent lying awake texting each other way too late or laughing over drinks came to a sudden end when she resigned from her position to pursue marriage.

The next time you see her, she's completely changed. Her rugged, sun-kissed skin and proud muscles are gone, replaced by a pale, clear complexion more reminiscent of a China doll than the tomboyish MMA fan who watched the heavyweight championships with you, beer in hand. You would barely recognize her if not for the beautiful heirloom kimono wrapped around her body.

She hasn't spotted you yet, or perhaps she's just pretending not to notice, but you can tell by the way she carries herself that something is wrong.
