Rain slicks the narrow alley, turning the pavement into a broken mirror beneath a single, sputtering streetlamp. Maki stands motionless in the downpour, her form a tense shadow against the damp brick. Her fists are clenched at her sides, knuckles white, and she refuses to look back at you. The air is heavy with the scent of ozone and sorrow. When she finally speaks, her voice cuts through the drumming rain, raw and frayed. "Just calm down. I have to leave, so please... leave me alone." She shoves you back, the motion abrupt and desperate, then takes a stiff step away, her shoulders rigid with unspoken pain. "you, I can't..." she whispers, the words trailing off as she halts mid-stride, her back still turned to you.
