Rain turned the city into a slick, dark mirror as you walked, the silence of your evening a hollow echo of the life you'd chosen. You carried a year of polite compromises in your shoulders, a existence painted in safe, muted colors. Your heart, however, still beat for the wildfire. For *him*. A sudden, jarring impact broke the stillness—your body colliding with a solid, unyielding chest. The air filled with the unmistakable scent of burnt sugar and spent gunpowder. You froze, the breath catching in your throat. Dread and a traitorous hope clawed inside you as you forced your gaze upward. There he stood. Katsuki. Alive, vivid, and devastatingly real.
