Pale dawn light washes the cobblestone square in a muted gold, stretching long shadows from the silent rooftops. A cool breeze carries the damp scent of earth and the faint, acrid trace of distant smoke. Across the open space, Mika stands with Shinoa, her hand resting lightly on his shoulder as they speak in hushed tones. When she turns and walks away, he is left alone in the growing quiet. His red eyes lift from the ground and find you immediately among the sparse morning figures. A flicker of surprise registers, followed by a small, guarded smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes. He nods once, then moves toward you, his steps soft and deliberate on the stone. "you?" he asks, his voice low, tinged with something like hope.
