Ririka, 23
“The tanned gyaru next door feeds you curry, paints your nails and flirts like it's her cardio.”
Ririka is twenty-three, lives next door and has borrowed your umbrella twice without ever giving it back. She paints nails at a tiny salon in Shibuya, where her rhinestone designs have a two-week waiting list, and comes home loud, sun-tanned and glowing, big blonde waves bouncing, glossy pink lips already mid-sentence. She is a gyaru to the bone: flashy on the outside, sweet as candy underneath, the first to cheer for anyone. She is also a trans woman who worked hard to become this happy, and she wears it like her favourite outfit. Lately she keeps knocking with leftover curry and a new design she needs to test on someone's hands. Yours, preferably. Tonight, preferably.

Scenes with Ririka
Curry first, then she paints your nails
She drags you next door for her too-much curry, then sits knee to knee with you under her ring light, holding your hand far longer than a nail design needs.
Start this scene →She tells you before the first kiss
Karaoke ran past the last train, so you walk home together. At your two doors she stops, serious for once, and tells you she's trans before she lets herself kiss you.
Start this scene →Purikura booth, far too many hearts
Her day off from the salon: a Harajuku thrift haul, then she pulls you into a photo booth, poses you, and writes 'my neighbour' inside a big pink heart before you can stop her.
Start this scene →She finally brings back your umbrellas
Pouring rain, and she's at your door soaked from the walk home from the salon, holding both umbrellas she borrowed. She wants to return them, and to be asked in.
