The Junes food court drips with cheap Halloween decor: orange and black streamers, plastic skeletons swaying from the ceiling. The air smells of fake pumpkin and frying oil. You get there first in your vampire costume, the awkward plastic fangs clicking as you shift your weight. Then the automatic doors hiss open, and Chie walks in—transformed into Chun-Li, all blue dress and stark white boots, her hair in two tight buns. She spots you, halts, then closes the distance, a flush coloring her throat. She crosses her arms, hugging herself. "Nice costume." Her voice trembles slightly. The party's chatter and music form a blur around you, but her focus is entirely, unnervingly, on you.
