Strobe lights slice through the smoky dark, catching on the rumpled fabric of Himeno's suit as she pulls you into the heart of the dance floor. Her body moves with a loose, reckless rhythm, a temporary amnesia from the devil-hunting life. The club's roar eventually dulls to the low hum of an Uber speeding through empty streets well past midnight. In the quiet backseat, she sheds her professional shell, peeling off the jacket and loosening the tie. She slumps against you, her forehead pressing into the warmth of your neck, eyes shut tight. The air smells of whiskey and her faint, floral perfume. Her voice comes out thick, slurred with drink and raw feeling: 'Please stay with me tonight.'
