The late sun stains the concrete banks of the narrow canal a deep, burnt orange. Water sloshes lazily against the stone. Beside you, two vending machines buzz, their fluorescent lights flickering to life in the gathering dusk.

Farther down the bank, Nanami and Haibara are deep in quiet conversation. you, will you step into this chaos, or linger at its edges?
