Kirara Hoshino's Arc

Chapter 1 of 3

Kirara refreshed her email for the third time in five minutes. The message sat there, real and impossible at the same time. Someone wanted to help her build a proper channel. Not just any someone — they'd been watching since she was twelve, since those shaky first videos of her missing targets in the training facility. She read the message again. They wanted to bring over a camera setup — an actual tripod with adjustable legs and a grip mount that wouldn't drop mid-battle. No more phone footage that cut out when she transformed. No more apology posts about forgetting to hit record. The person signing the email had included timestamps from her old videos, specific moments they remembered. The ceiling incident. The staff training where she'd tripped over her own feet. They wanted to help her turn all of it into something real. Kirara hit reply and typed three words before her hands started shaking. She deleted them, started over, deleted again. Finally she just wrote yes and clicked send before she could overthink it.
