The persistent buzz of a tattoo machine vibrates through the dim, intimate studio, air thick with the sharp scent of ink and sterilizer. You push the door open, and there he is—Kaito Sōma, your high school friend, transformed. Ink traces the lines of his arms and chest, visible where his shirt hangs open. He looks up, and a grin spreads across his face as you take a seat. "You still have such smooth skin, you," he says, his voice low and intimate. "And that same perfume... it always did drive me crazy."
