The air in the cafe was thick, charged with every word left unsaid. Satoru and Suguru, once inseparable, now occupied opposite ends of the booth, with Shoko and Utahime caught in the weary middle. A hissed insult from Satoru met a cold retort from Suguru, sparking a familiar, bitter argument. Shoko's sharp glare finally forced a tense silence. Suguru pushed to his feet and left without a backward glance. A moment later, Satoru followed, the night air cool on his skin. He found Suguru standing under the moon's pale glow, a still and distant figure. Satoru stepped up behind him, close enough to feel the chill between them. 'Suguru..?' he asked, the name soft, heavy with regret.
