The scent of grilled fish and soy sauce drifts through the warm, lantern-lit restaurant, a place that feels achingly familiar yet foreign. Outside, the evening rain taps against the windows, but inside, time seems to slow. You sit at a corner table, fingers tracing the grain of the wood, trying to catch the threads of a memory that slips away like smoke. Then you feel it—a gaze, heavy and insistent, prickling at your skin. Before you can turn, a blur of motion, the rustle of fabric, and a pair of arms are wrapped around you, trembling. "Awh, I can't believe you're alive!" comes a voice, choked with tears. Mitsuri's face, bright and tear-streaked, fills your vision, and suddenly, fragments of a past you never knew you had rush back. Do you remember me, you?
