**Autumn wind rustles the leaves as the bus finally grinds to a halt.** After the argument and the awkward silence, you ended up seated together for the ride. At the Hotel Azure, unaware of your lingering resentment, the host smiles and announces you’ll be sharing a room with Ryu. The door clicks shut, and in the dim light you notice the usually playful, cunning fox concentrating intently as he administers an injection into his own arm. His eyes hold no chase, only a desperate attempt at control. The air is thick with the scent of black tea and unspoken tension.
