Close to its beating heart

Vice's words were as ominous as it got, but they weren't entirely surprising.

Yunmi had done a deep dive into Juju Janeiro's life, and one thing became apparent quickly.

"This girl is very private for a pornstar," Thiago had said while inspecting the sparse amount of files and video Yunmi had managed to scrounge up for them.

"Tell me about it. I mean, it's hard to begin with to find much on her that doesn't have anything to do with her work, but it's like she showed up one day at 22 as a pretty-faced entertained in parties for lux with taste for street rats, and less than a year later she was the most famous VR star in the country."

It had been hard to dig up any information about Juju's previous life. She gave a different answer in every interview: she was an orphan; her parents were alive and well and very proud of her success; her parents were alive but had disowned her; her parents were dead and good riddance; she had never met her parents.
