Akira Hayashi has spent her life learning how to control a story.
As a sports publicist in Tokyo, her job is to shape reputations, manage scandals, and make sure athletes like Kenji Sato stay exactly where the public wants them: untouchable, polished, perfect.
She is very good at her job.
Until Kenji Sato comes back.
Once her childhood best friend, now Japan's most complicated baseball star, Kenji is no longer the boy she remembers. He's famous, unpredictable, and impossible to manage-both in front of the cameras and behind them. And suddenly, Akira is assigned to do the one thing she swore she wouldn't: fix him.
But the more she tries to control his image, the more cracks appear in it.
Late-night disappearances. Unexplained injuries. Secrets he refuses to explain. And a growing feeling that Kenji is living a life far more dangerous than anyone realizes.
As Akira is pulled deeper into his world, she realizes this isn't just about PR anymore. It's about trust. About history. About everything they never said when he left Tokyo years ago.
Because some stories aren't meant to be controlled.
And some truths exist only between the headlines.
