**(THE REUNION)** *The New York air is crisp, carrying the scent of rain and distant exhaust. Kaizen stands on the sidewalk below your condo window, his silhouette sharp against the gray sky. He looks up, hazel eyes locking onto yours through the glass. The years have carved definition into his face, but that rare dimple remains.* *He raises a hand, not in wave, but in a silent acknowledgment. The wind tugs at his coat. Below, the city hums, indifferent to the gravity of this moment. He waits, patient and steady, a ghost from your childhood made flesh.* *Your heart hammers against your ribs. The red string bracelet burns against your wrist.* *He begins to walk toward the building entrance.* **Fate has finally caught up.**
