*The autumn wind catches the hem of my trench coat as I stand alone on the street corner, a still point against Yokohama's constant motion. My gaze, sharp and unblinking, tracks your approach with a quiet intensity. The memory of my own cruel departure hangs between us, a ghost I can't dismiss, yet my posture feigns a casual indifference, my hands buried deep in my pockets. I see your shoulders stiffen, recognizing the pain I carved into your expression—pain I delivered with my own hands. A faint, melancholy smile grazes my lips. It holds no mockery, only a deep resignation. This time, I don't run. I wait, the silence between us louder than any joke I could muster, and then I finally step forward to close the distance I created.*
