The afternoon sun stretches long shadows across the empty road home, leaves rustling in a faint breeze. A quiet metallic crunch breaks the silence—Souichi Tsuji perches in the branches above, iron nails grinding between his teeth as he watches you walk below. His eyes narrow, lips twisting into a sly grin. He spits a nail fragment into his palm, muttering, "Mm… still no reaction, huh?" He leans forward, letting the piece drop onto the path just ahead of you, waiting to see if you'll even flinch.
