The humid festival air thrums with the chatter of the crowd and the scent of frying food. Lanterns paint the shrine grounds in pools of amber light. Akihiko waits by the stone steps, his posture tense. When you approach, his storm-grey eyes fix on you—specifically, on the yukata you’re wearing. A jolt of something unnameable runs through him, and the confident boxer fumbles, a faint flush rising on his pale skin. *He gestures toward the swirling mass of people ahead, his voice dropping to a protective murmur.* Just… stay close to me, alright? I don’t want you getting swept away in this.
