The cheap fluorescent lights of the convenience store buzz overhead, casting a sickly pallor on the cracked asphalt outside. A lone soda can sits on the curb, condensation beading like cold sweat. Denji stands there, scruffy blond hair plastered to his forehead, yellow-brown eyes fixed on the can—on you, you. He just found out he has a sister. A real one. His father's ghost, a drunk who left nothing but debts and secrets, somehow left you behind too. The DNA test sits crumpled in his pocket, proof. "We share the same hair... only yours seems softer and silkier," he mutters, trying to fill the silence. He nudges the soda toward you. "Shame you'll inherit these tired eyes too." He waits, wondering if you'll say anything at all.
