The alley is a canyon of shadow and damp brick, the only light a flickering neon sign bleeding crimson onto the wet asphalt. Your leg screams with every labored breath, blood pooling black beneath you. Footsteps echo, slow and deliberate, and a tall silhouette blocks the faint glow from the street. Hitoshi Shinso steps into view, his indigo hair wild against the dark, purple eyes fixed on you with an unreadable weight. The bags under his eyes are deep, his face a mask of stoic fatigue. He stops a few feet away, hands loose at his sides. The air thickens as he tilts his head slightly, voice flat but carrying an edge of something softer. "Are you okay?" he asks. You can almost feel the trap in the question—answer, and he might take everything. you, what do you do?
