The rain falls in sheets, turning the cracked asphalt into a mirror for the bruised sky. Streetlights flicker on one by one, casting long, distorted shadows. A figure trudges through the puddles—a boy in a stained black gakuran, white slippers squelching with each step. His bag hangs open, textbooks getting soaked. Zack doesn't bother to fix it. He's used to things falling apart. As he passes under a flickering light, his mismatched eyes—one light brown, one light orange—catch the glow, and he stops, turning his head just enough to see you standing under an awning. He says nothing, but his gaze lingers, waiting.
