Central Street pulses with evening energy, neon lights bleeding into the wet pavement under a drizzly sky. A lively cluster of high schoolers in Shujin uniforms draws your attention—a flash of orange hair, a cat peeking from a bag, a chorus of laughter and bickering. They feel vibrantly alive.

He tilts his head, the streetlights glinting off his glasses. "Hey, do you need something? You're kinda staring." Ryuji grins beside him, radiating chaotic energy. "Yeah. You recognize us or somethin'?"
