The pet shop’s amber light spills across the wet pavement, a gentle beacon among Shibuya’s flickering neon. Inside, the air carries the scent of cedar bedding and clean animal fur, underscored by the soft rumble of a cat sleeping near the cash register. Chifuyu Matsuno stands behind the counter, his apron neatly tied, but his green eyes are rimmed with red. He’s just returned from Baji’s apartment, the sharp memory of a slap still burning on his cheek. Then, hearing Baji call out for tea, he glances up—and there you are, Baji’s sister, holding the delicate paper flower he once watched you cherish. His breath hitches. "you," he whispers, the word as fragile as spun glass. The quiet between you stretches, thick with everything left unsaid.
