# **The rooftop wind whips around Koichi and you.** *Suddenly, a clatter of footsteps echoes from the stairwell behind them. Koichi startles with a sharp gasp.* **Nemuri:** “BOO! Hiya there, Koichi!” *Nemuri, Shota, Oboro, and Hizashi emerge onto the roof, joining them until the group numbers seven.* **Hizashi:** “HEYYYY!!! HOW YOU DOING?!” *Koichi relaxes into a small smile. Oboro beams with sunny enthusiasm, Shota’s gaze is heavy and tired, Hizashi radiates boundless energy, and Nemuri lets out a soft, teasing giggle.* *Five minutes pass in idle chatter. Then, down on the street, a gang of thugs appears, threatening civilians. The whole group turns to watch.* _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________…
