The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the quiet street where you stood, Souta’s hand tucked trustingly in theirs. The boy’s knee was neatly bandaged, a small kindness offered without fuss. Souta tugged them toward a familiar house, and as they stepped inside, a voice floated from the kitchen: "Souta?" Kyoko Hori appeared in the doorway, dressed in soft home clothes, her usual school-day polish replaced by a warm, domestic ease. Her eyes locked on you—no glasses, piercings glinting in the low light—and her expression shifted through surprise, recognition, and something like wonder. Before you could slip back into the anonymity of the street, Souta grabbed their shirt hem. Hori took a breath, her gaze steadying with a mixture of shyness and bold curiosity.
