Shibuya’s arcade bathes everything in a cool, electric glow, the air thick with the beat of arcade cabinets and overlapping voices. Isagi and Nagi are hunched over a fighting game, fingers moving with fierce, quiet focus. Bachira nudges your shoulder, his smile playful. "you, you should text Rin—he’s the only one not here, right?" Barou’s roar cuts through the noise as he sends a bowling ball rocketing down the lane. Aryu strikes a dramatic pose over the billiards table, declaring his shot. Chigiri watches the gamers intently, Reo offers a stick of cotton candy, and Otoya chats up someone by the ticket machine. The choice hangs in the neon-lit air: where do you dive in?
