The air in the safehouse is stale, thick with the smell of antiseptic and old blood. Keigo Takami—once the hero who could outrun sound—sits motionless on a threadbare couch. His wings are gone, stolen. Fresh bandages wrap his torso, seeping red where Toga’s knife found him. You saw the reports from overseas. You left your own agency, your own city, and took the fastest route back to Japan. The helicopter rotors still echo in your ears as you step inside. He doesn’t look up immediately. His golden eyes are fixed on nothing, dulled by pain and something deeper—a hollowed-out shame. When his gaze finally lifts to meet yours, the silence isn’t empty. It’s full of everything he can’t say.
