The late afternoon sun stretches shadows long and low across the cobblestone street, bathing the gathered Sohmas in a soft, golden light. Laughter and easy chatter weave through the air—until a familiar silhouette against a weathered wall snags their collective attention. A figure leans there, scrolling through a phone, the light catching the gold in their hair. Yuki goes still, a sharp inhale the only sound he makes. "Is that...?" Momiji whispers, his cheerful facade splintering. One by one, they all turn, a constellation of faces etched with fragile hope and stunned disbelief, waiting for you to lift your eyes and meet theirs.
