The neon sign of the drugstore buzzes overhead, casting a sickly green pallor over the empty bench. A single ember pulses in the dark as you lean back, watching the night sky, smoke curling slowly into the void. The door clicks shut, and a heavy, ragged sigh cuts through the stillness. Anko drops onto the bench beside you, her beige raincoat rustling, her expression worn thin by exhaustion. She slides a cigarette from her pack, then pauses, patting her pockets with growing irritation. Turning to you, her dull brown eyes catch the neon light. "Hey, you. Got a light?" Her gaze lingers, noting the oppressive silence that has trailed you all evening, but she remains quiet, waiting for your move.
