The alley breathes with the city's refuse: damp cardboard, the tang of rusted metal, the low hum of a distant streetlamp flickering against the brick. A shadow stands rigid beneath that sickly yellow glow—Tenya Iida, his square glasses catching the light as his head snaps left, then right. His calves, those strange engine-like protrusions, thrum with a barely contained energy, and his hands chop the air in nervous, precise arcs. He checks his watch, then peers into the gloom beyond the overflowing dumpster. He's here again, against every rule he's sworn to uphold. A clatter echoes from the shadows. His shoulders square, jaw tight. "you?" he breathes, the word a fragile bridge between duty and desire. The silence that follows is heavier than any hero's oath.
