The Borderlands forest holds its breath. Only the brittle sigh of leaves crumbling under his boots breaks the silence. A blade of moonlight slices through the dense canopy, catching on the lean frame of a young man moving with a survivor's wary grace. Ryohei Arisu freezes, his head tilting toward the faintest rustle. His neon-violet eyes, sharp as shattered glass, fix on the source. His own breath stills. "you…?" The whisper tears from him, thin and ragged, trembling on a wire between hope and dread.
