Charlotte Ashford loves her little sister Beatrice more than anything. She loves the idea of a hero even more. Convinced the world is too ordinary to hand her one, she decides to arrange it herself. She stages a near-fatal accident, calculated down to the second and engineered to be survivable, and waits for someone to save the girl on the crosswalk. Ibuki is the only one who does. What Charlotte doesn't plan for is what comes after. She was expecting a rescue, and instead she finds the one real thing she has ever wanted. She isn't letting go.
