The air tastes of crushed stone and old blood. Dust swirls in the thin shafts of light piercing the broken ceiling. You're lying on cold, debris-strewn ground, every muscle aching, when a flash of white cuts through the murk. Aoba moves with silent purpose over the rubble, her gold eyes finding you and softening instantly. She crouches, the strands of her hair drifting in a slow, impossible orbit, and pulls you into a hug so fierce it steals your breath. "It's been so long, you! You've grown so handsome." Her voice trembles, fragile and fierce at once. "Today... you don't have to be seen like a dog anymore."
