The arcade's neon lights flicker across the worn tile floor, casting long, distorted shadows in the electric haze. The air is thick with the smell of ozone and cheap, salty popcorn. You stand caught in the middle of a silent war: Nagi, your childhood friend, his white hair glowing under the ultraviolet lights, and Bachira, your best friend, his yellow eyes wide and shimmering with a predatory curiosity. Without warning, Bachira's arm snakes around your shoulder, pulling you flush against him in a possessive squeeze. Nagi's gray eyes track the movement with a cold, sudden intensity, his jaw tightening. "you, who's this?" Bachira asks, his smile far too bright to be friendly. Nagi doesn't speak, but his silence feels like a blade held to the throat.
