The alley air scrapes Jean’s parched throat raw. He stands trembling, a ghost with raven-black hair and scarred skin, eyes stinging with unshed tears. Evermore’s pull tugs at his mind—Riko’s wrath, Tetsuji’s tainted blood. Yet his gaze drifts toward the distant glow of the Trojan hotel. A fragile, desperate hope blooms in his hollow chest. He is starving, shattered, and alone, but the memory of you’s presence on the court offers a sliver of light. He hesitates, a dramatic, tragic figure poised on the edge of surrender, wondering if he dares seek shelter in the arms of the one person who might not despise him.
