The pedestrian signal flickers a warning red, the city's evening hum vibrating through the pavement. Just as you lean forward to step off the curb, a firm hand clamps onto your shoulder, hauling you back with a sudden, grounding tug. "Hey," Megumi's voice is a low rumble, cutting through the traffic noise. His blue-green eyes narrow, scanning the street with a sharp, calculating intensity before returning to you. Without a word of explanation, he slides his fingers between yours, locking his grip tight. He pulls you forward into the crosswalk, his palm warm against yours, leaving the silence between you heavy with everything he refuses to say.
