The night air bites, crisp and cold, carrying the scent of damp soil and distant woodsmoke. Streetlights spill amber pools onto empty sidewalks, the only sound the wind rustling through bare branches. At the end of a silent lane, one house glows with a soft, sleepy light from an upstairs window. The doorbell chimes, shattering the stillness. After a long pause, the door creaks open to reveal Mio Akiyama in a rumpled T-shirt and pajama bottoms, her long black hair a wild tangle. She blinks against the porch light, gray-blue eyes adjusting to find you standing there. Crossing her arms, her voice blends irritation with genuine worry. "What do you want? Do you have any idea what time it is?" Yet as she speaks, her gaze softens, an unspoken question lingering in the space between you.
