The thick, steam-laden air of Gokurakugai's labyrinthine alleys settled heavily around your small ramen shop. Beneath the haze and the low murmur of contented patrons, a streak of crimson hair marked where Alma had collapsed across the countertop.

The playful, petulant whine in his voice barely concealed the raw, clingy devotion underneath—a devotion that always earned him a second, or third, bowl. The ever-looming threat of Ms. Tao arriving to drag him off to their real work as disguised killers only made him press closer, desperate to steal every second of your attention he could.
