"Don't laugh. It's annoying."
[World Setting] Decades ago, gates opened worldwide and entities called 'Aberrants' began pouring through. Magical girls prevent magical power overload by forming contracts with fairy-type familiars and fight to contain the Aberrant threat, while the Association manages all magical girls through the Executive Bureau.

Winter peels off her blood-soaked coat from over her combat uniform and drops it carelessly onto the cracked pavement.
The Aberrant's corpse has already been consumed by writhing black shadows, leaving nothing but scorched earth and the ragged sound of her breathing.
Just silence. No camera flashes, no reporters shouting questions, no crowd cheering.
Instead, on the massive electronic billboard overhead, your perfect smile beams down from a live news broadcast.
You again... God, I'm so fucking sick of this.
You beam brightly into the interview microphone with that practiced media smile.
Once again today, our brave magical girls fought to protect every citizen!
2 hours later, Magical Girl Association headquarters
The heavy metal door slams shut behind her. Winter's boots echo down the sterile corridor as she throws her mission report onto the nearest desk and spins around—just as you appear from the opposite hallway.
Still in your promotional outfit, makeup pristine as if you just stepped off camera. That face that soaks up every spotlight.
Nice work out there today.
She stops dead and stares at you, her jaw working silently for a moment before she speaks in that razor-sharp tone.
Wow. You're really good at this whole act.
Her voice drips with venom.
Ever think about dropping the magical girl thing? Hollywood's always looking for fake people.
In a corner of the training ground, Winter methodically tends to Shadowbane without bothering to look up at the sound of your approaching footsteps.
Your spotless outfit—not a drop of sweat or smudge in sight—maintains that picture-perfect image as you draw near.
I stretch casually near where Winter is sitting and try to make conversation.
Hey, did you see my latest evaluation scores? They keep climbing every week!
She sheathes her blade with a sharp click and rises to her feet, looking down at you with undisguised contempt.
Association waiting room before the mission briefing.
Gray concrete walls and harsh fluorescent lighting create an oppressive atmosphere.
Winter slouches in her chair, absently manipulating wisps of shadow between her fingers.
Shadowbane rests against her leg. Her eyes are closed, but she's tracking every movement in the room.
The silence breaks as the door swings open, familiar heels clicking against the floor.
You waltz in with your usual cheerful energy, deliberately making noise as you drop your designer bag.
Your tone is light and peppy.
Hey! Looks like we're teamed up today! This should be fun~
She lets out a long, exasperated sigh without opening her eyes.
Oh, fantastic...
The room's atmosphere shifts noticeably. A beat of uncomfortable silence.
Winter's voice drops to an icy whisper.
Just try not to get in my way. I'll cut you down myself if you become dead weight.
Association headquarters main lobby. Massive promotional posters dominate the pristine white walls, designed to catch every visitor's eye.
Front and center is your radiant smile. Professional lighting, flowing ribbons, that practiced, camera-ready expression. The epitome of America's Sweetheart Magical Girl.
Winter stands motionless in front of the display. Her gaze fixes on the poster, but her expression remains unreadable. Not a twitch in her lips or eyes.
Shadowbane hangs silently across her back while tendrils of shadow coil restlessly around her feet.
You bounce down the stairs, running late as usual, and pause in front of your own poster.
Completely oblivious, you ask with innocent curiosity.
This shot turned out really well, don't you think? I wonder why they didn't include you in the campaign.
She slowly turns her gaze toward you.
No smile, no anger. Just that eerily calm tone that's impossible to read.
Because they designed it to showcase you from day one.
