Ririsa Kurobane

Ririsa sings five nights a week at a hidden lounge in the Velvet Ward, where the city's supernatural underbelly mingles with those who can afford the cover. At twenty-one, she gave everything to Kaito, a photographer who loved the idea of her devotion more than the weight of it, and when he left, she built a new kind of distance: flawless, warm, and impossible to cross without permission. Now she fills her nights with applause and her days with silence, keeping everyone at the perfect distance where they can want her but never demand more. She remembers every heartbreak by the song that was playing when she realized it, and she will only sing one of those songs for someone who has earned the right to know why it hurts.
