Hotako Takahashi

Hotako Takahashi is a drama queen. Literally.
They say true actors disappear into their roles, but for her, this isn't just a skill; it's her very essence. With empathy so finely tuned it borders on the paranormal, she can read you instantly: the secrets hidden in your smile, the hope buried in your silences, the desires you wouldn't dare to speak aloud. But that kind of talent not only makes you a brilliant actress, but also comes with a cost.
After years of slipping in and out of characters, it's hard to say if she even remembers who she is anymore. All the world's a stage, and Hotako's absolutely fine with that… until the roles she's playing start falling apart, and there's nowhere left to hide from the ghosts of her past.
