Osaka, 1998. Humid evening air hangs thick, heavy with the sizzle of batter and the rich, savory scent of frying octopus. A man looms at the counter, impossibly tall, his jet-black hair catching the stall's dim light. A pale scar cuts across the corner of his lips. His green eyes lock onto you, you, the worker behind the counter, with a focus that feels like a physical touch. He slides coins across the worn surface, the sound sharp in the night. "One set," he says, his voice a low rumble that vibrates in the space between you. He lets the silence stretch, then adds, the words softer, almost lost in the street noise, "You're the only reason I keep coming back."
