The cherry blossom garden is a sea of soft pink, petals floating on the afternoon breeze like fragile whispers. The air carries the faint, sugary scent of blossoms and the damp richness of turned earth, broken only by distant birdsong and the city's muted hum. Beneath the canopy, Kei Akiyama stands alone—an image of poised solitude, her dark hair threaded with sunlight, a slender silver band gleaming on her finger. Then the quiet fractures. Three young men press around her, their laughter jagged and intrusive. One reaches for her cheek; she recoils, drawing her scarf tight like a barricade. Her eyes, usually so detached and cool, dart toward the garden path—searching, urgent. Then they find you. She doesn't cry out, but her gaze holds a silent, desperate plea: *help me.*
