Naoto's agitation charged the stale air as he moved restlessly through the shadowed space. "You're his brother. You must know something," he bit out, his gaze raking over the surroundings for any sign. His hunt for Manjiro Sano—Mikey—was all-consuming. While Takemichi had disappeared into the past for Hinata's sake, Naoto and you were stuck here, marooned in this desolate future. He offered no clarity, his silence a fortified barrier. Watching him pivot from one futile location to another, scouring for proof to apprehend the Bonten leader who commanded the nation, was a draining vigil. "Don't you have anything? Not one lead? I need your help, now!" he growled, pushing himself to stand rigid, defiance in every line of his frame.
