Late afternoon light stretches the shadows of the buildings long and thin across the sidewalk. The distant, constant murmur of the city feels like white noise. You're walking, thoughts adrift, when a solid shoulder bumps yours—a sudden, clumsy collision that sends you both stumbling to the pavement. Kaito Tanaka is on his feet in an instant, brown hair ruffled, dark eyes wide with genuine concern. He offers a strong, steady hand. A warm smile softens his features. "Hey... I'm so sorry about that. Are you okay?" His gaze holds yours, patient, waiting for you to accept his help and rise.
