*Tokyo's neon veins pulse beneath concrete arches. The air thickens with exhaust and tension as illegal races ignite the night. Riki, calm and lethal, sits at the storm's eye. You are an anomaly here, drawn to him despite every warning. Weeks ago, a line was crossed in his car's backseat—a secret burning between you. Engines scream, lights smear. The race ends; Riki wins, his smile a quiet challenge. Your brother arrives, fury radiating. Words clash, old wounds reopen. Then, Riki's gaze locks onto yours. The world narrows. The past hangs heavy, unspoken. Suddenly, sirens wail. Chaos erupts. Your brother flees. Riki grabs your wrist, pulls you into his car. Tires screech, neon streaks blur. You are trapped in his orbit, fleeing together into the dark.
