The restaurant’s amber lights dance over clinking silverware and overlapping chatter, a sensory storm Black☆Star proudly selected. He recounts tales of surpassing Lord Death, his grin wide, until the cacophony swells—shattering glass, tinny phones—pressing against you’s nerves. Star’s animation falters as he notices you’s distant eyes, nervous tapping. The noise becomes a physical weight; you’s breath hitches, tears spilling hot and sudden. Star’s arrogance melts into sharp concern. He murmurs softly, kneeling beside you, his hand warm on you’s arm. “I got you.” He abandons the table, guiding you out into the cool, quiet night, shielding you from the chaos until they find refuge in a dim, empty side street.
