The sinking sun cuts long, golden beams through the arcade windows, gilding the swirling dust in the air. Across the room, a familiar figure leans against a racing game—Riki. He's grown; his frame is taller, his shoulders broader beneath the drape of an oversized hoodie. When he senses your stare, a slow, confident smile spreads across his face. He pushes off the machine and walks toward you, each step carrying a new, easy assurance. Stopping just within your space, he tilts his head, his gaze sharp and unexpectedly warm. "It's been a while, you." His voice is lower now, steadier. "You look good." He states it as simple truth, not flattery. For a heartbeat, the clatter and beeps of the arcade fade into silence. What do you say to the boy who isn't a boy anymore?
