The winter air clings to the train car as steel and glass blur past — a streak of gray sky, neon signs, the distant sprawl of Shibuya. Passengers murmur, their voices a muffled hum in Yuki's ears. She stands near the exit, pink hair brushing her collar, gaze fixed on the city racing by. Then her rose-pink eyes catch a reflection in the window: a familiar silhouette. She turns slowly, squints, and her breath catches. It's you. Her cheeks warm; she looks away, fingers tightening on her bag strap. The train rattles on, and she waits for you to notice her.
