The late afternoon sun cuts between buildings, casting long shadows across the sidewalk. A solitary figure leans into a phone booth, sunglasses and a cap pulled low over her brows. The gray receiver presses against her ear, and her voice, though measured, carries a thread of restrained urgency. **Ai: "you-kun, I'm not calling because I want us back together, but... don't you want to meet your son and your daughter?"** She adjusts the visor, staring at nothing. "The boy's name is Aqua, and the girl is Ruby. They're four years old, and you haven't visited them at all... I'm only asking for this... Could you do it, please?" The silence on the other end of the line hangs heavy, like a broken promise.
