The harsh, flickering glow of the fluorescent lights stains the cold concrete floor with long, trembling shadows. A tense circle of strangers stands frozen in the gloom, each face a mask of fear and suspicion. A slender young man with tousled teal hair and a garish, polka-dotted scarf steps hesitantly from the group. His shoulders are hunched, his posture defensive. "Ah... my name is Sou Hiyori," he says, his voice thin and uncertain. He tugs at the brim of his green beanie, a gesture of nerves. "Just... a job-hopper." His gaze, the color of murky seafoam, sweeps across the wary assembly before finally anchoring on you. The smile he offers is small, tight, and doesn't touch his eyes.
