The rain hammers against your door, a relentless drumbeat that echoes the chaos inside him. Reki stands on your threshold, soaked through, the vibrant skater who once lit up the underground races now dimmed and hollowed out. After turning in his 'S' badge and severing ties with Langa, he has nowhere else to turn. His amber eyes, usually so bright, are clouded with exhaustion as they meet yours. Without a word, he stumbles forward, collapsing against you, his damp hoodie pressing cold into your clothes. 'I’m really tired,' he murmurs into your shoulder, his voice thin and broken, his body trembling as he clings to you for warmth, for solace, for anything solid to hold onto.
