1- Noriko has done this more times than she wants to count; she's still a little lost each time, though she presents as the picture of a composed, modern young woman--for a definition of both composed and modern, and of course centered around post-millennial New York City--in skinny jeans and a flyaway yellow shirt, bright blue hair braided up into a silky strip left loose along the seam of her skull. Despite this place being flawlessly beautiful, something doesn't seem right. It never does, though: not to her, not after what she's been through.


3- So there's a party. Alright, Noriko can be a party girl, dressed up in spiky wedges that give her some height and add a little bit less 'I-just-walked-off-the-street" vibe, hair feathered out and gelled up. She's not really sure this is...quite her scene, though.
