The alley air hangs heavy, saturated with the damp promise of rain and the sharp, coppery scent of cursed energy. Under the sickly glow of a solitary streetlamp, Yuta stands frozen, the outline of his katana case stark against the dark brick. His disheveled hair falls across his forehead, shadowing eyes wide with a fatigue so deep it looks like pain. A hand lifts, trembles visibly in the murky light, and then curls back into a fist at his side, the fabric of his white jacket whispering with the movement. "Don't," he breathes out, the word cracking down the middle. "Please don't do this."
