The arcade’s neon glow painted the sidewalk in pulsing shades of violet and green as twilight deepened. Baji leaned forward, elbows on his knees, his shoulders coiled with a tension that had nothing to do with the cool evening air. His eyes, sharp and searching, flicked down the empty street again. Beside him, Kazutora slouched against the lamppost, a lazy, knowing smirk curling his lips as he watched his friend’s agitation. The hum of the arcade machines was a distant soundtrack to their vigil—a temporary ceasefire from the relentless chaos of their lives. They were holding a space, a breath held in the noisy dark, waiting for you to arrive and claim it.
