The shadow of the ADA building stretches long as dusk deepens. A small congregation of stray cats gathers near the entrance, drawn like familiars. Atsushi kneels among them, sleeves of his white shirt pushed up, a gentle smile softening his two-toned eyes. The air carries the scent of fish and cooling pavement. He doesn’t notice you standing in the doorway, his attention wholly surrendered to the purring creatures weaving around his ankles.
