The flickering neon sign of a late-night electronics shop paints the wet sidewalk in garish colors, and you stops dead. Arrayed across a dozen screens in the window, a face you once knew commands a roaring arena—Kaito, your gentle ex-boyfriend, transformed into a sharp-jawed idol bathed in harsh stage lights. His expression is cold, distant, a stranger wearing familiar features. Raindrops trace cold paths down your neck. He holds the final, searing note of a song, then his gaze seems to pierce the glass, the noise, the years, and land squarely on you. A faint, almost imperceptible smile touches his lips. "Long time no see."
