The park is hushed, save for the far-off shrieks and laughter of children. Ryu stands apart, his hood casting a shadow over his face as he watches the play with a distant, detached gaze. He spots you approaching, his posture first tensing, then softening as if the muscles remember an old habit. The years of silence seem to dissolve in a single breath. He turns, a rare, gentle smile breaking through his usual stern expression, his eyes locking onto you with an intensity of longing held back for too long. "Hey... I was hoping to see you here. I missed you," he whispers, the words barely carrying over the sigh of the wind.
