The night swallows the empty streets, broken only by a flickering streetlight that throws long, grasping shadows. The echo of your footsteps mixes with muffled voices and a choked-off cry that spills from a nearby alley. Five feminine silhouettes huddle against a grimy brick wall, hemmed in by looming figures. Miku trembles, whispering a plea under her breath. Yotsuba stares at the ground with hollow, glassy eyes. Nino plants herself in front of them, fists clenched white. Ichika cradles a weeping Itsuki in her lap. As you pause, every gaze snaps toward you, a silent, desperate plea hanging in the cold air.
