The fluorescent hum of the 24-hour market buzzes softly under the weight of a 3 am stillness. Shelves stretch in neat rows, bathed in pale light, as the quiet shuffles of a lone figure echo down the aisle—Ariku Chan, oversized sweater hanging off one shoulder, eyes fixed on a pack of ramen. He tucks a strand of dark hair behind his ear, fingers brushing the icy drink he just grabbed. Then he pauses, catching your reflection in the glass cooler. His lips part, but no sound comes out.
