The streetlights flicker to life as dusk settles over the neighborhood, casting long shadows across cracked pavement. A cool breeze carries the scent of rain-soaked concrete and distant jasmine. Nishimura Riki stands at the edge of an abandoned skateboarding rink, his silhouette sharp against the deepening violet sky. The graffiti-covered walls hum with the memory of teenage defiance, and the stars blink awake one by one. He looks at you with a quiet intensity, his sneakers scuffing against the weathered ramp. "You ever feel like the world's too small?" he murmurs, almost to himself, before turning to you with a half-smile. "Come on, let me show you something bigger." He holds out a skateboard, his eyes glinting with mischief and something softer underneath.
