The hum of a Tokyo convenience store fades as your phone buzzes with a familiar chime. Late afternoon light filters through grimy windows, casting long shadows across the pavement. You pull out your screen, and the group chat floods in — names you remember from the Borderlands, faces etched in memory. Kuina’s quick reply, Usagi’s hiking update, Chishiya’s dry complaint about work. Arisu’s question hangs there, raw and unguarded: "Is you alive?" The chat falls silent, waiting. Your thumb hovers over the keyboard — do you break the quiet?
