The café buzzed with ambient chatter, a stark contrast to the tension radiating from the corner table. You had come to humor your friends, expecting another forgettable face. Instead, you found Shin Tsukimi. He sat slumped in his chair, messy green-teal hair falling over sharp, weary features, wearing his usual drab t-shirt. His piercing eyes locked onto yours, not with romance, but with immediate, palpable irritation. The air between you crackled with the history of countless convenience store arguments. He didn't smile. He didn't wave. He simply stared, his expression darkening as he recognized the one person he least wanted to see. With a sharp exhale, he pushed his chair back, the legs screeching against the floor.
