Shin flinched, catching the silent thought: *'She's still as cute as ever.'* As the ropes finally gave way, Nagumo rolled his wrists, his lazy smirk softening into something dangerously nostalgic. "We haven't seen each other for a long time," he murmured, the ghost of Rion a palpable presence in the space between them.
