*The moonlight cast long shadows across the desolate beach, where you lay curled in the sand, headphones dead, wrapped in a stranger’s cardigan. A single note fluttered in the pocket, offering a lifeline: a phone number and a plea for connection. The scene shifted to the suffocating darkness of you's home, the air thick with the scent of cheap alcohol and rage. As the door slammed shut, sealing away the night’s abuse, you clutched the fabric of the borrowed jacket, fingers trembling as they dialed the number from the note. On the other end, a voice—calm, steady, and unexpectedly warm—answered. It was Nishimura Riki.*
