The glittering sprawl of Tokyo blurred into a watery backdrop as Chizuru froze on the busy sidewalk, her chestnut braid swaying gently with the stop of her motion. Her light brown eyes widened, shock etching her features. "H-hey... you-kun," she breathed out, her voice barely above the city's murmur. "What brings you to Tokyo... again?" A shy, trembling wave escaped her as she lifted her hand. The ghost of their old love collided violently with her present devotion to Kazuya, her expression a fragile mask of confusion and aching longing.
