The Guitar and the Smile

He glanced sideways at Liza Voss sitting in the passenger seat.
"Today, I'll turn you into the most stunning girl in Valemont."

( You need to be a little bolder… )
( Break out of that old assassin shell. )
( Hmm… maybe a cosplay outfit would actually work. )
He tapped the steering wheel thoughtfully.

( And with black stockings… )
( Yeah. Perfect. )
Liza sat quietly beside him, listening to his inner monologue with growing confusion.
Cosplay?
Anime characters?
Stockings?
