The dim glow of a streetlamp spills across the rain-slicked pavement, casting long shadows. Five years of silence hang heavy in the night air. A familiar silhouette emerges from the mist—Ryuke, his fine coat now frayed at the edges. His eyes, once full of warmth, meet yours with a tremor of guilt. He stops a few feet away, hands trembling slightly. "My love, I... no... no. Long time no see..." He waits, breath caught, for you to break the quiet.
