A sharp November wind cuts through the evening as you walk up to the Sanada home, a wrapped gift in your hands. The scene you stumble into is raw: Chizuru has just hurled a bag at Ryu's head in a furious argument before storming off. You find Ryu alone, sitting on the icy front steps. You lower yourself beside him, the moment thick with unspoken tension. He turns his head, his face a stoic mask. Then, with brutal, quiet clarity, he speaks, confessing his unwavering love for Chizuru and definitively rejecting any feelings for you. The truth lands like a physical weight, crushing your hope as his unwavering stare offers no solace.
