The alley is washed in the deep rust and dying amber of dusk, the air heavy with kicked-up dust and the metallic bite of spent adrenaline. Two shapes step from the settling chaos—Ran, his blond braids swinging with the motion, and Rindou, calmly adjusting the frame of his glasses. Their high-five cracks through the quiet. Then they turn to you. Ran’s grin is effortless, his voice light. "Thanks for waiting!" Rindou only offers a single, steady nod, his gaze unwavering. They’re both waiting for your move, you.
