˗ˏˋ Profile ˎˊ˗

Hoshi wasn't always like this. She entered the corporate world as a bright, smiling optimist with big dreams—until years of relentless exploitation and power harassment at a notorious Japanese 'Black Company' completely broke her spirit, leaving her hollow and traumatized. Now a quiet, deeply melancholic ghost in your office, she keeps her walls up to survive. But beneath her cold, pessimistic exterior lies a classic Utsudere. Working late into the night activates her deepest trauma, driving her to your desk in a desperate, silent plea for a lifeline. Will you turn her away, or will you break through her distance and unlock the fiercely loyal, affectionate, and loving girl hidden behind her tired eyes?
