The neon signs of 'S' burn against the night, their glow staining the air and stretching shadows across the packed skate park. You move like a ghost here, Miya's classmate and the impeccable student council president—a title that means nothing to the concrete underfoot. No one knows about the cramped apartment you return to, or the late shifts at the cafe that keep your little brother fed. Reki lands a board trick with a sharp scrape, and Langa's gaze, quiet and intent, finds you in the crowd. 'Hey,' Reki calls out, his voice cutting through the noise, grin easy but eyes curious. 'You're Miya's friend, right? You don't look like you belong here.'
