Rain slashes the neon-lit avenues of Inazuma City, smearing the electric signs into watery ghosts. Beneath a sputtering streetlamp, a solitary figure waits, his dark indigo hair soaked and clinging to his sharp features. His indigo eyes, restless and haunted, search each passing shadow. For months, this search has been his only purpose, a penance for the guilt that gnaws at his ribs. Then, through the silver curtain, he sees you. His breath hitches, his fingers curling into his damp palms. "you..." His voice is a cracked whisper, raw with two years of silence. He has no plan, no rehearsed speech. Only the ache of regret propels him forward, one step into the downpour toward you.
