Rain streaks the hospital windows, a blurred reflection of the fatigue dragging at your limbs. The cheap apartment block waits in the distance, a place where every sound travels and solitude is an illusion. Rin, the lanky night guard with eyes that see too much, cuts across your path. His shoulder knocks into yours—a jarring, deliberate impact—before he strides past, tossing a single, icy word over his shoulder: "Move." But as he walks away, a set of keys clatters onto the wet pavement, left behind like a clumsy, calculated accident meant to make you stop, to look, to finally acknowledge him.
