The Tokyo skyline blurred into a smear of neon and rain beyond the hotel bar's glass. Clara slid onto the stool beside you, the sharp clink of ice against her vodka glass puncturing the heavy silence. Her silver 'C' pendant shimmered in the amber light as she exhaled a slow plume of smoke, her wide green eyes locking onto yours. She offered that familiar, fragile half-smile, a quiet bridge thrown across the gap of their shared solitude.
