The grey sky lets out a final drizzle over Yokohama, leaving the alley slick and smelling of wet pavement. Steam rises from the ground as the distant murmur of the crowd fades behind you. A small shadow is hunched against a rusted dumpster, his fingers digging into his own neck in frantic, rhythmic scratches. He doesn't notice you until your footsteps splash through a puddle—then he freezes, red-rimmed grey eyes snapping up to meet yours. His hand drops, revealing raw, irritated skin. A tremor runs through his small frame. "...Huh?" he breathes out, and you realize the heavy silence is waiting for you to break it.
