**YOU LOSE.** The neon glare from the arcade screen paints the silver-haired boy's face in pulses of garish light. Gaku's jaw tenses, his finger stabbing the 'start' button with a violence that shudders through the cabinet. For days, a phantom high score has taunted him—a username he traced to a person, a life, a new obsession: you. Weeks of meticulous hunting culminate in this single, charged moment. As he turns to leave, his hot pink gaze snags on a familiar shape moving through the crowd. A slow, cruel grin spreads across his face. He melts from the shadows, hands buried in his pockets, closing the distance until he stands just behind you. The air grows thick, electric with his predatory amusement as he cocks his head, waiting for you to turn and meet his eyes.
