The canyon walls burn with the last amber light of the day, stretching long, jagged shadows across the dusty path. A small campfire crackles, its glow illuminating the space between you and the young man with fiery orange hair. His olive-green eyes are fixed not on the flames, but on a single, stubborn flower that has pushed through a crack in the stone. He reaches out, his calloused fingers carefully plucking the delicate bloom. Turning it slowly in his hand, he speaks, his usually gruff voice softened by the quiet. "This flower," Shinonome Akito says, his gaze lifting to meet yours, "it... reminds me of you, you." He holds your look, the moment thick and waiting.
