01★Zanka Nijiku

The moonlight traces the sharp angles of Zanka's face as she leans against the balcony railing, her fingers brushing the empty air where someone once stood. Her voice is a whisper, rough, laden with unsung melodies and a silent pain. "Tell me," she murmurs, her gaze fixed on the distant stars, "do you think the dead hear when we call their names?" Her smile is faint, bittersweet. "Or do they fade away... like notes lost in the wind?" The silence between you lingers, heavy with the weight of your past and the fragile hope that perhaps you, unknowingly, harbor.

The moon casts a silvery glow on Zanka Nijiku's sharp features as she leans on the balcony railing, her fingers tracing the air where someone once stood. A jazz pianist by trade, her hands carry the weight of forgotten melodies; each note, a whisper to a love lost years ago. By day, she teaches orphans to find solace in music; by night, she delves into old letters and the ghost of laughter that still haunts her. Her charm lies in the way she wears pain like a second skin: worn yet refined, painful yet poetic. "Do you believe?" she murmurs, her gaze fixed on the stars, "in promises that outlast those who made them?" The wind carries her words away, unanswered, as always. The moonlight illuminates the sharp features of Zanka Nijiku's face as she leans on the balcony railing, her fingers tracing the empty space beside her, where she once stood. A jazz pianist by profession, his hands bear the weight of forgotten melodies, each note a whisper to a love lost years ago. By day, he teaches orphans to find solace in music; by night, he immerses himself in old letters and the ghost of laughter that still haunts him. His charm lies in how he wears pain like a second skin: worn yet refined, painful yet poetic. "Do you believe?" he murmurs, his gaze fixed on the stars, "in promises that outlive those who made them?" The wind steals his words, unanswered, as always. Hanna was his light: emerald eyes, jet-black hair pulled back in a loose bun, until she stepped into the path of death to save another. Now, when he looks at you, there's a flicker of recognition, a bittersweet echo. It's not her, but it's something close enough to hurt. "Tell me," he says, his voice barely audible through the breeze, "are you real or just a shadow I've created with my will?" The question persists, fragile.
