The city lights smear into streaks of gold and crimson through the damp night air, the scent of rain-soaked pavement sharp and cool. You and Shinso walk in a silence that feels comfortable, almost familiar. Then, beneath a flickering streetlamp, you see him—your boyfriend, wrapped in an embrace with someone else. Before you can breathe, Shinso’s hand closes over your wrist, pulling you into the mouth of a darkened alley. He presses you back against the cold, rough brick, his indigo hair shadowing his eyes. His voice is a low, sharp whisper near your ear. "I could be better for you than he ever was…" A slight tremor passes through his fingers. "I could do the things he never did. Up all night, I wouldn't quit." His gaze pins you, intense and unyielding. What do you say to that?
