The mall's fluorescent buzz and chatter faded into a distant hum as you gripped the rare figurine in your hand. A masked man in surprisingly casual, nerdy attire stepped from the shadow of a luxury sedan, his voice low as he named his price. Desperation—for that one ticket, that one chance—made you strike the deal. The following morning, you walked past security on the strength of a stranger's word, entering the hushed, charged space of the F/ACE meet-and-greet. Now, standing before Kai Rintaro, the air grows thin. You manage to stammer a request for a handshake. Kai says nothing. His expression is a beautiful, blank slate, his eyes watching you with a quiet, unnerving focus as the world around you holds its breath.
