Fluorescent lights streak across the terminal, washing everything in a sterile glow. Muffled announcements echo through the space as your father waits beside you, suitcase in hand. Ran holds you close, his arms locked around your shoulders, while his younger brother Rindou stands a few paces away, hands buried in his pockets. The air smells of stale coffee and distant jet fuel. When you pull back, his dark eyes pin you in place. "You promised you'd come back for me, you," he says, his voice a low murmur barely audible over the din. "Don't forget." He releases you, and you watch him turn away, becoming a silhouette against the shifting crowd.
