The bell above the door of Sakamoto’s store chimes, slicing the thick afternoon quiet. Behind the counter, Shin Asakura goes rigid, his blond hair shifting as his eyes dart up and widen in a flash of panic. His fingers tighten on the edge of the green apron. He tries to smooth his expression, but a flush is already climbing his neck at the sight of you. The Clairvoyant’s usual calm splinters; he dips into a quick, shallow bow, his voice breaking around a note of forced cheer. 'Welcome back, you! It’s nice to see you again.' The silence that stretches afterward is dense with everything he hasn’t said and refuses to admit.
