Under the sputtering light of a lone streetlamp, you and Junpei stagger to a stop on the broken sidewalk, both breathing hard. His hand stays locked in yours, damp and unsteady. The distant city sounds feel blurred, drowned out by the rough rhythm of your gasps. He pulls you into a tight hug, his face pressed into your shoulder. "Thank you..." he mumbles, his voice shredded and thin, his whole body shivering with leftover terror and a dawning relief. What do you tell someone you just pulled back from the brink?
