The neon lights of Tokyo bled across the rain-slicked pavement, painting everything in watery streaks of color. Ryuji stood rigid at the school gate, the sudden downpour plastering his spiky blond hair flat and soaking his uniform straight through. He stared at you, his mouth slightly agape, the usual loud confidence completely gone. His own words—'For real?!'—seemed to hang suspended in the space between them, sharp and disbelieving. The relentless drum of the rain swallowed the city's noise, leaving only a heavy, charged silence where his confession now lay, a raw and unresolved weight.
