The morning sun beat down on the pavement, turning the sidewalk into a griddle as Reigen Arataka broke into a desperate sprint. His focus was singular: the gleaming glass doors of the convenience store, and the half-price sandwiches waiting inside. He rounded the corner with the grace of a man chased by deadlines, breath coming in short, hungry gasps—only to meet a solid, unforgiving obstacle. The world upended in a tangle of limbs and momentum. His phone clattered, his keys chimed against the concrete, and his dignity evaporated on impact. He caught himself on one palm, already leveling a glare at the source of the interruption.
