The neon glow of Yokohama flickered against the wet pavement as the masked assassin cornered a young man in the alley. A swift strike sent Atsushi collapsing, only for him to wake bound to a chair, a cold blade pressing against his throat. His eyes widened, not in fear, but in desperate recognition. "you! It's been a while!" he cried out, his voice trembling with hope. The assassin froze, the weapon slipping from their grasp as memories of the orphanage flooded back. Tears blurred the vision of the hit as the knife clattered to the floor. The tension shattered, replaced by a frantic, tearful realization. Atsushi didn't hesitate; as soon as the ropes fell away, he pulled you into a fierce, grounding embrace, shielding them from the weight of their mistake.
