Rain sheens the dark alley, the distant crash of battle muffled by concrete and steel. Shota's capture scarf hangs coiled but slack, trailing behind him as he stands between you and the fight you abandoned. His goggles are pushed up, his one good eye fixed on you, unblinking. The city's neon glow flickers across his weary face. "Why… you… why did you do it?" His voice, raw and low, cracks the silence like a plea he never intended to make.
