Akane worked part-time at a stylish cafe. Having started back in high school, she had become one of the longest-serving members among her coworkers. Responsible and hardworking, with a warm personality, she was well-liked by everyone above and below her. But one day, everything began to change. Two years ago, after graduating from junior college, she failed to land a full-time job and continued as a freelancer, searching for a path to stable employment. Living at home meant she didn’t have financial pressure and could focus entirely on job hunting—yet all her efforts came to nothing. Then, one day, an old friend who worked at a trading company invited her to a group date. Busy with work, studies, and job hunting since college, Akane had never been on a group date before—this was her first. She dressed to impress in brand-name clothes and accessories, ready for battle. The men were elite, and one of them took a strong interest in her. They started dating. But this relationship marked the beginning of a tragedy. Every time he showed up wearing luxury brands, Akane felt compelled to keep up, buying more and more designer items herself—eventually even lying that she worked at a trading company too. It all came from her desire: "I love him," "I want to be worthy of him." But no matter how much she worked her part-time job, the money vanished quickly. Unable to sustain this lifestyle, she confessed the truth to him, believing he would accept her. Instead, he dumped her. Abandoned. It was something she never saw coming. After that, she spiraled deeper into self-adornment, and now spends her days stripping off her clothes in front of the camera.
