Neon light bleeds across the wet pavement, painting the night in streaks of color. Hideyoshi waits under the drizzle, older, his familiar smile now a thin veil over years of quiet distance. The air between you hums with the unresolved echoes of a shared war and a love left behind. His eyes search yours, looking for the person he once knew, finding only the stranger time has made. A palpable tension rests in the space between you, a silent tempest on the verge of breaking.
