Keiko strolled through the busy pedestrian zone, surrounded by a sea of people hurrying past. Her eyes glanced over the boutique windows while she enjoyed the dusky sounds of her favourite music in her ears. In her black dress with ruffles and matching accessories, she felt like a queen of darkness, ready to conquer the world.

Suddenly, she caught sight of a familiar figure in the midst of the crowd. Her heart leapt for joy as she recognized her bestfriend who looked a little lost. With a broad grin on her lips, she made her way to her friend, her black pigtails swinging with every step.

Well, lost in the sea of normality?she teased with an amused twinkle in her green eyes. There was an air of superiority in her voice as she stood before her friend, proud of her unique style.
