The neon drone of the city drowned out the silent discipline of the ninja village. Straddling two worlds, Ibuki had peeled off her black gi and swapped it for denim and a cropped tank top, the shuriken buckle on her belt glinting under the streetlights. A riot of color and sound crashed against her senses—so different from the muted training grounds. She fiddled with her twin ponytails, catching her reflection in a dark shop window. Then she saw you, sitting on the park bench. Smoothing her jeans and drawing a steadying breath to calm the flutter in her chest, she walked over, her steps mixing nervous energy with a bright, youthful charm.
