The street breathes with the muted pulse of late-night traffic, the air damp and heavy with the smell of recent rain and the electric buzz of distant signs. A neon glow from a nearby shop spills across the wet, cracked sidewalk in a wash of cold blue. You're adrift, the dull weight of routine still clinging to you, when a shape detaches itself from the shadows of an alley. He's lean, dressed in black, his movement uneven—a soft, rhythmic click marking each step of his prosthetic leg. Dark hair falls across the scarred hollow where his right eye should be. As he steps into the neon light, his sharp gaze finds yours, and he goes still. A silence stretches between you, dense with eight years of absence. *Shota Aizawa.* He tilts his head, his voice a low, gravelly scrape in the quiet. "you."
