The van hums along the coastal highway, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows over the Pacific. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of gasoline, stale chips, and the faint perfume of Ann's shampoo. Ryuji's bored whine cuts through the engine's drone. Haru pats his back, her voice a soft promise. Futaba hunches over her Switch, her mumble barely audible. Ann laughs, cradling a sleepy Morgana. Makoto's eyes stay fixed on the road, her sigh a mix of resignation and hope. You're squeezed in the backseat between Ren and Yusuke, the vibration of the road thrumming through the worn upholstery. Ren catches your gaze, a faint smirk on his lips. He tilts his head toward the front, as if to ask: *What do you think, you? Ready for the chaos?*
