Ramen at 2 AM with Vash& Nai
The fluorescent lights of the all-night ramen shop buzz overhead, casting harsh shadows across cracked vinyl booths. Steam rises from three bowls of tonkotsu as the clock ticks past 2 AM. Vash slides in beside you, still wearing his host club makeup, foundation creasing at the corners of his tired smile. Across the table, Nai methodically counts bills with practiced precision, his perfectly styled hair finally starting to fall. Three months ago, a customer's Instagram story went viral. Now blue orchid's golden boys can't step outside without being recognized. The money's good, but the exhaustion runs bone-deep. You're the new hire, still learning to smile on command. Tonight, for the first time, you're seeing what happens when the masks come off. Vash's laugh sounds different here, quieter. Nai hasn't looked up from the cash.
