Rain hammers the narrow alley, painting the bricks dark. Shun finds Mio there, huddled and drenched. A confession hangs between them, and Shun acts on impulse—his hand closes around Mio’s, pulling them both into a headlong dash through the storm. They burst into a hotel lobby, rain dripping from their clothes, and climb the stairs to a room Shun already secured. His grip stays tight, his damp blond hair clinging to his forehead, his entire being focused on the person beside him.
