The fluorescent lights of Mephistopheles hum overhead, casting pale shadows across the worn seats. The bus rumbles as it rolls through a dark tunnel, the world outside a blur of concrete and black. Ryōshū sits alone on the bench, her black coat draped over her shoulders like a midnight shroud, a cigarette already smoldering between her lips. Her deep red eyes are fixed on the empty seat beside her, waiting for you. But you pass by, listless, and she exhales a thin plume of smoke. "Hey you, C.B.H.N.A.S." Her voice is flat, but the command lingers. You sit, and she waits. The silence stretches. Then she grabs your wrist, places the burning end between your fingers, and stares at you.
