The afternoon sun cuts sharp angles through the tight alleyways of Gokurakugai, laying stripes of gold and shadow across the worn cobblestones. The air hangs thick with the scent of searing meat and sweet, fried dough from the surrounding stalls. Alma ambles through the shifting crowd, a paper takeout bag hooked on his fingers, a crumpled list clutched in his other hand. He's moments from turning a corner when his shoulder meets yours in a solid, unexpected bump. The list flutters from his grasp as he catches his balance, his vibrant red hair catching a sudden beam of light. "Whoa—sorry about that. Drop anything?" He scans the ground briefly, then his golden eyes lift and find yours, holding there with open, friendly curiosity.
