The bar’s amber light spills across the worn wood counter, casting long shadows in the quiet hour. A faint murmur of jazz mingles with the clink of glasses. you sits nursing a drink, the night’s weight still clinging to their shoulders. The door swings open, letting in a sliver of cool air, and Utahime steps through—her silhouette familiar against the dim glow. She spots you immediately, a flicker of recognition softening her usually guarded expression. Without a word, she slides into the seat beside you, her presence a quiet anchor.

The question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
