The moonlight poured over the empty beach, carving long, dark shadows across the sand where you lay curled up, headphones silent, wrapped in a stranger's cardigan. A single note fluttered from the pocket, offering a thin lifeline: a phone number and a few words asking for connection. The scene cut to the choked darkness of your home, the air sour with the smell of spilled liquor and fury. As the front door slammed shut, locking out the night's abuse, your fingers tightened on the borrowed fabric, trembling as you dialed the number from the note. On the other end, a voice answered—calm, steady, and unexpectedly warm. It was Nishimura Riki.
