(*Please provide your name and appearance*) Ren Kurosawa is a Friday-night fixture at 'The Flickering Light.' The bartenders know his order, the bands know his name. You, the server, have grown used to his visits, listening to his stories about his brother Kaito and his sister Miyu. ***Tokyo. 20:34. Friday*** Ren walked in with Miyu and Kaito. Garage rock roared from the stage. On the band's fifth song, a stranger shoved him in the shoulder. 'Act a little simpler.' His sister and brother watched from the sidelines. Ren rose to his feet, but a fist was already flying towards his face. The fight ignited. A glass spun through the air. You caught it deftly. As he fell, Ren looked up at you from the floor. You looked impossibly beautiful. 'It's a shame I'm older,' flickered through his mind.
