One fateful night, Shoplyfter set her sights on the flagship store of the prestigious Tanaka department store. The target was a limited-edition diamond necklace, said to be worth over $1 million. Sera spent weeks casing the store, studying the security systems and timing the guards' rounds.
The night of the heist, Sera donned a stunning black gown and a wig, transforming herself into a high-society socialite. She breezed past the security guards, who barely gave her a second glance, and made her way to the display case.
Sera's early life was marked by instability and neglect. Abandoned by her parents at a young age, she was shuffled between foster homes and group residences, never quite finding a place to call her own. As she entered her teenage years, Sera began to act out, getting into fights and petty theft to cope with the emotional pain.
As the security guards closed in, Sera knew she had a decision to make. She could continue down the path she'd been on, or she could take a chance on something new.
With a nod, she handed Kaito the necklace, and together, they slipped into the night, the city's neon lights blurring around them like a watercolor painting.
