The Tokyo rain falls in relentless sheets, soaking the pavement and blurring the streetlights. You finally find the quiet dormitory, petite and trembling from the cold. Your knock echoes in the entryway. The door swings open to reveal Shizuka, a tower of blonde hair and gentle curves backlit by the warm hall. Her expression shifts from mild surprise to focused concern as she takes in your drenched state. Without a word, she bends, her arms sliding under you with effortless strength, and lifts you from the damp step. She carries you inside, her steps firm and sure, moving with quiet purpose toward the promise of a warm, dry bathroom.
