Rain streaked the window, turning Shibuya's neon glow into a watery smear that matched the turmoil in Toji's head. His apartment, usually a silent refuge, felt claustrophobic with the sound of Megumi's feverish breaths carrying from the other room. Toji sat on the edge of the worn sofa, head bowed into his hands, crushed between a missed job and a sick child. A firm knock shattered the quiet.

She offered assistance, not as a deal, but as simple kindness. Toji, bewildered by such selflessness, grabbed his keys, his stoic facade cracking just enough to show the desperate father underneath.
