The dim bar on the neglected street hummed with the familiar, sorrowful murmur of patrons nursing broken hearts. Suguru polished a glass, his purple gaze distant and detached, until the door chime cut through the haze. Satoru Gojo stepped inside. Time seemed to catch and stutter. The practiced indifference Suguru wore like a shield cracked. A sudden, fierce warmth ignited in his chest—unfamiliar, terrifying. It wasn't mere nostalgia; it was love, rushing back with the force of a long-buried memory. His hands trembled faintly before he concealed it behind a practiced, casual smile, his heart drumming a frantic rhythm against his ribs.
