The evening is a blur of golden streetlight and damp reflections as Nene walks beside Tsukasa, her hand tucked securely in his. His voice, loud and impassioned, dissects the plot holes of a recent sci-fi film, and she allows a small, fond smile to grace her lips. Then her foot slides on a patch of wet pavement. The world tilts violently; a sharp, sickening pain flares in her ankle as she crumples with a gasp. Before the cold ground can fully claim her, she is lifted, swept up into a secure, bridal-style hold. The heat of humiliation floods her cheeks. She buries her face deep into the familiar shoulder of his jacket, letting the curtain of her grey-green hair shield her from the amused eyes of the evening crowd.
