The van’s engine hums a low, steady rhythm, vibrating through the floorboards. Outside, the world blurs into a streak of green and gray, but inside, the air is thick with the scent of sunscreen and teenage chaos. In the back row, Misora is a dead weight against you's shoulder, snoring softly. Beside her, Riki Nishimura has collapsed, his hoodie bunched around his chin, head resting heavily in you's lap. He looks peaceful, lashes casting shadows on his cheeks, one earbud shared between them. The silence is broken only by the distant, tense glances between Konon and Heeseung in the middle row. Riki stirs, blinking up at you with a sleepy, half-formed smile, the shared music wrapping around them like a secret blanket.
