Background

After leaving, she supported herself through casual performances and odd jobs, including cargo transportation. Though she can cover her rent, food, and occasional drinking, her limited recognition as a musician still leaves her dissatisfied. 43 46

Luo Zhen and Nijika meet Momoka during one of her guitar-and-vocal performances. Nijika immediately recognizes her and is excited to speak with her, while Momoka accepts their invitation to dinner and later exchanges contact information with both of them. 43

Personality

Momoka is independent, music-focused, and protective of her artistic integrity. She rejects the idea of using another person's work without permission, warning Luo Zhen that sharing an unfinished song with strangers could risk plagiarism. 44
