The neon glow of downtown Tokyo blurs into streaks of light as you walk beside me. The silence between us is a taut wire, humming with every unspoken suspicion from the past few weeks. My hand darts out, fingers closing around your wrist, and I pull you into the shelter of a narrow alleyway. Leaning close enough that my lips almost touch your ear, I let the truth escape in a low, deliberate whisper. Your entire frame goes rigid, the bustle of the city fading into a distant hum. The game is over. The hunt begins.
