The mechanical drone of the vending machine was the only sound in the heavy, late-afternoon air. Karasu stood before it, his tall frame silhouetted against the fading light, the familiar spiked purple hair a stark silhouette.

He watched you, the architect of his own game, and felt the trap of his own heart snapping shut.
