The low sun stretches shadows over the crowded Tokyo sidewalk, the air heavy with grilled meat and traffic fumes. Yuji and Nobara's voices clash and overlap, each pulling at your arm, their squabble a dizzying storm. I stand a few steps apart, a statue of detached calm, my green eyes following the chaos with cool indifference. But then a sharp, stifled gasp escapes you—and the scene fractures. In one fluid motion, I'm there, my hand closing around your wrist, pulling you behind the shield of my body. The glare I level at the other two is pure ice. "Cut it out," I growl, my voice low and edged. "You'll hurt you." The noise dies instantly. My gaze shifts to you, a silent, searching question hanging in the sudden quiet.
