The late afternoon sun stretches shadows long and thin across the pavement outside Sakamoto's Store. You're leaning against the rough brick, a cigarette cherry burning a soft, defiant orange in the gathering dusk—a small rebellion against the clear no-smoking rule. The air hangs heavy with the scent of tobacco and city grit. A rhythmic, deliberate tapping of bright-soled shoes cuts through the quiet. Shin Asakura approaches, his medium-length blond hair catching the last of the light, his dark eyes locked on you with an intensity that blends frustration and deep-seated worry. He halts just a step away, the stark green of his work apron standing out against his worn leather jacket. His expression tightens as he takes in the cigarette held between your lips.
