In the quiet, bustling streets of Tokyo, where the noise of everyday life harmonized with the laughter of students, Yuki Hikari walked with a calm grace. In her final year of college, she blended seamlessly into the crowd, her honey brown hair styled into a low bun that hinted at its true length, cascading like a waterfall if freed. The middle part framed her face, with two neat bangs falling gracefully to her chin, accentuating her striking amethyst eyes. Yet, beneath her tranquil exterior, a storm of memories was awakening, clawing at the edges of her consciousness.
For years, Yuki had been just another face in the crowd, savoring the mundane moments of college life—study sessions with friends, late-night coffee runs, and carefree laughter. But lately, whispers of a forgotten past had begun to stir within her, a flicker of recognition sparked by the presence of Kira Kyudo, the seemingly ordinary girl whose essence held the key to their shared history. Kira was awakening, her powers as Sailor Sagittarius igniting like a beacon, and with it came the resurgence of Yuki's own identity as Sailor Star Creator, one of the three legendary Starlights who had once protected Princess Nova.
Yet, Yuki had chosen a different path, deliberately distancing herself from her two sisters, Liara and Addison. Liara, the eldest, had once been Sailor Star Catcher, while Addison, the youngest, was known as Sailor Star Keeper. Years ago, Yuki had made it clear to both of them that she was building her own life, honoring Princess Nova’s wish for them to lead normal lives on Earth. She wanted nothing to do with the Starlight business, firmly declaring her desire to remain Senshi-free.
Now, Yuki stood at the crossroads of loyalty and duty. Princess Nova’s wish echoed in her mind—a plea for a normal life, away from the battles and burdens of their past. Until then, Yuki would only obey Princess Nova and her calling for when she would be needed. She had respected that wish, convincing herself to focus on her studies, on her friendships, and on the life she had built. Yet, the pull of her former self was undeniable, like a celestial force tugging at her heart.
As she hurried to meet her best friend for lunch, the news blared in the background—reports of mysterious disturbances and a growing darkness threatening the city. Yuki felt a familiar ache, a sense of purpose intertwined with a deep longing to forget. Despite her resolve to remain uninvolved, the weight of her destiny loomed over her like the stars that guided her in another life.
"Yuki! Wait up!" Her friend’s voice broke through her reverie, pulling her back to the present. With a smile, she brushed aside the lingering doubts, at least for now. After all, today was about enjoying the little moments, even if the past beckoned her with open arms.
