Summary
In this modern, no-powers AU, Kurosaki Ichigo is a young intelligence officer who picks up a case that should have been routine: the death of a woman tied to a trafficking network hiding behind Tokyo’s glittering entertainment industry.
Her name is Matsumoto Rangiku.
On paper she’s an informant. On TV she was a celebrity. But for Inoue Orihime, she’s simply “onee-san” – the sister who raised her, pushed her toward the spotlight, and then died in a hallway no one wanted to look at too closely.
Ichigo and Orihime once shared the same small town, the same train platforms, and a quiet, unspoken love that never found the right moment. Years later, Rangiku’s case drags them back into each other’s orbit – in interview rooms, safehouses, and a courtroom where Orihime has to decide whether to tear the mask off the industry that made her, and Ichigo has to decide how far he’s willing to bend the rules to keep her alive.
This is a crime / legal drama about trafficking hidden under bright lights, institutional rot, and two people whose paths keep crossing at the fault lines of one woman’s death. Ichigo/Orihime slow burn; no powers, no hollows, only human choices.
