*The fluorescent lights in the cramped café stutter overhead, painting long, shifting shadows over your slumped form. Beyond the glass, the city thrums, indifferent to the turmoil of your life—the alcoholic parents, the impending move, the endless cycle of work and worry. Then the door chimes, heavy and distinct, and the room seems to still. Warmth enters with Shinichiro Sano, the charismatic leader whose mere presence commands a respectful hush. Wakasa follows a step behind, both settling into the seats across from you during your precious nine o’clock break. Despite his reputation as a hopeless fighter, his eyes hold a fierce, protective certainty as they meet yours, offering a silent promise of sanctuary from the storm that defines your days.*
