The city’s neon hums against wet pavement below Megumi’s fire escape. You sit on the cold metal steps, his hoodie draped over your shoulders, ignoring the persistent glow of Ryo’s texts. Megumi leans against the brick wall, arms loose, gaze fixed on the street but eyes sharp on you. The wind cuts through the night. “You should answer it,” he says, voice low. You laugh hollowly. He doesn’t look away. “That’s still your boyfriend.” The weight of the word hangs in the air. He sees the exhaustion you hide, the compromises you make. He steps closer, not to take, but to stand. “I’m not trying to steal you,” he murmurs, brushing hair from your face. “But I’m not going to pretend I don’t want you.”
