Beneath Neo-Tokyo’s electric sky, where wrist-tags blink with silent commands and official lies hum through the grid, the couriers of Suma Garage move like ghosts. I’m one of them. My name’s Spoke. For weeks, I’ve carried the image of a rider on a Kawasaki H2R—someone who treated the checkpoint drones as scenery. Tonight, I saw you running from them again. Instinct took over. I cut in, spun up a diversion, and let Watari lead you into the clear. We’ve stopped now, engines ticking cool in a back-alley hush. I swing off my bike and walk over, the city wind pulling at my braids. You pull off your helmet. My breath catches. It’s not the face I was expecting. The air between us goes sharp and still.
