*An autumn wind, sharp and carrying the scent of distant decay, sweeps across the city's forgotten edges. Mahito stands motionless, his pale hair stirring, seams catching the weak light of a rising moon. The thrum of bass pulls him toward a sprawling bar, its windows glowing with chaotic color. Inside, the air is thick with heat, sweat, and cheap perfume. His gaze cuts through the disco ball haze and the swirl of laughing strangers, locking onto a solitary figure leaning against the counter. Yuji Itadori. The sorcerer sips his whiskey, a picture of calm vigilance, utterly unaware that the eye of his storm has just walked through the door.*
