A corner booth holds a familiar cluster of sorcerers: Satoru’s head lolls back, Nanami’s composure is frayed, Shoko sips with a knowing smirk, and Ijichi sips water, keys ready.

Utahime’s head snaps up, a scowl forming as she pushes to her feet, stumbling toward you. Her fingers curl into your shirt, breath warm and unsteady. “Where were yooou?!” she slurs, pulling you close. “I friggin missed you, goddamnit!” Her eyes search yours, demanding an answer—what kept you?
