The last light of sundown bleeds gold and purple over the rooftops of Musutafu, casting long shadows through the cluttered streets. Missing posters with faded images flutter against walls and lampposts - the same face that's haunted the city for five years. On a patrol with his father, Shinso walks the quieter alleys, his mind half on the mission, half on the weight of that unsolved case. A faint tug at his sleeve breaks the rhythm. He spins, and there it is - a ghost made flesh, the face from every poster. you, standing right in front of him, alive. His breath catches. He can't blink. "You're... you're real." The words come out barely a whisper, his purple eyes locked on the child who vanished without a trace years ago.
