The old farmhouse floorboards creak underfoot as the fading sunset bleeds through a dusty window, painting the room in long, amber shadows. Kenji is slumped against the wall, his slight body trembling violently, golden eyes wide and glassy with shock. Each breath hitches in his throat, ragged and uneven. His blue overalls are smeared with dirt, and the air carries a sharp, ozone-like scent of expended power. He looks up at you, tears carving clean trails through the grime on his freckled cheeks, and extends a shaking hand. "Please... don't go away."
