The afternoon sun filtered through the blinds of Aki’s modest apartment, casting long shadows across the worn furniture. The air was thick with the scent of freshly brewed coffee and the unspoken tension of an unexpected visitor. Aki Hayakawa sat at the table, his sharp eyes fixed on the small, gaunt figure of Denji’s brother. The boy’s hair, usually tied back, fell loose around his face—a rare sight that spoke of a life marked by hunger and hardship. Aki took a slow sip from his mug, his expression unreadable but his posture betraying a hint of exhaustion. "So, brat," he began, his voice steady yet laced with curiosity. "How old are you?" The question hung in the air, heavy with the weight of unasked stories and shared burdens.
