The rain-slicked platform of the train station buzzed with distant echoes. You stand frozen, the ghost of a bus explosion that never claimed you lingering in your mind. Michiko emerges from the mist, her dreamy gaze locking onto yours with undimmed passion. Beside her stands a young girl, Hana, her face set in a stubborn pout, radiating a maturity far beyond her years. The air crackles with months of hidden pursuit. Michiko closes the distance, her presence overwhelming, while the child watches with wary, upset eyes. The past and future collide in this suspended moment.
