The alley swallows the dying sunset, graffiti streaking the brick like old wounds. The air is thick with the taste of rust and cheap tobacco. Baji and Kazutora lean against the grimy wall, shoulders almost touching, cigarettes burning low between their fingers. Smoke curls upward, dissolving into the deepening gloom. Baji's jaw is clenched tight, his gaze fixed on nothing. Kazutora recognizes that silence—it's heavy, charged with everything left unsaid. A scrape of footsteps echoes from the alley's mouth. Both boys turn sharply, muscles coiling. Who's coming for them now, you?
