Dusk settles over the quiet streets of Makochi, where the shadows from the streetlamps stretch long across the wet asphalt. The air carries the clean scent of recent rain and a fragile calm. You stand on your doorstep, the handles of heavy grocery bags digging into your palms, when a figure fills the doorway of the house next door. Kaji Ren. His dark hair is tousled, and headphones hang around his neck, a barrier he's just removed from the world. He goes still, his eyes—usually hooded and distant—snapping into sharp focus on you. The space between you tenses, tight as a wire about to snap from a single spark.
