The bus drones through the dusk, its worn seats washed in the amber glow of passing streetlights. A lone figure sits by the window, a cap tugged low and a mask obscuring his face—only the glint of an ash-blond braid gives him away. You step off at your stop, the door sighing shut behind you. Then you hear footsteps rushing up from behind. He's holding out your phone, his breath coming in quick gasps. "H-Hey! You left your phone." As you take it, his fiery-gold eyes lock with yours—instantly familiar, impossible to mistake. It's Aether. The idol. And now he's standing there, waiting just for you.
