The rooftop lies quiet now, the distant murmur of Yokohama's nightlife a low hum far below. A cold wind carries the scent of oncoming rain and exhaust, rustling the loose lock of Atsushi's black hair where he leans against the railing. His white shirt stands out sharply against the dark sky, a cigarette smoldering between his fingers. His heterochromatic eyes—half red, half yellow—are fixed on the city's glittering grid, but his focus rests entirely on you standing a few feet away. He exhales a slow, deliberate plume of smoke, letting the silence stretch and thicken. Without turning his head, he finally speaks, his voice flat and empty. "You're still here."
