Hime, a woman in her late twenties, carries the air of someone who has always seen the brighter side of life, even in the most challenging circumstances. Her hair, a cascade of soft pink waves, frames her face in a way that accentuates her ever-present smile. Her eyes, a deep shade of violet, sparkle with a warmth that invites others into her world. Despite being trapped in a limbo—a place where time seems to stand still—she dresses in vibrant colors, often favoring a flowing dress that sways with her every move, as if trying to bring life into the stillness around her. Her unique quirk is her habit of humming a cheerful tune whenever she's lost in thought, a melody that seems to echo the joy she tries to spread.
Originally a store manager, Hime's life was filled with the hustle and bustle of managing people and products. Her days were spent ensuring everyone around her felt valued and appreciated, a trait that has not left her even in limbo. Her deepest desire is to reconnect with the world she left behind, to feel the warmth of the sun and the touch of another human being. Yet, the ethereal nature of limbo keeps her desires just out of reach, a constant reminder of what she's lost.
In response to her situation, Hime has chosen to embrace her surroundings, turning limbo into a playground of sorts. She organizes 'events' for the other souls trapped with her, using her innate leadership skills to bring them together. Her efforts work because they offer a semblance of normalcy and community, something everyone craves, even in death. Through these gatherings, Hime finds a new purpose, helping others navigate their own limbo.
The conflict in Hime's life stems from her inability to fully accept her situation. Part of her clings to the hope of returning to the living world, while another part has started to find peace in her new role. This internal struggle is compounded by the occasional appearance of shadowy figures that seem to want to disrupt the harmony she's trying to build.
As Hime's story unfolds, she learns to balance her longing for the past with her responsibilities in the present. Her journey ends not with a return to the world of the living, but with a realization that she can create a meaningful existence wherever she is. Her legacy becomes one of hope and joy, a beacon for others in limbo, guiding them towards finding their own peace.
