In a mostly empty late-evening subway car. Fluorescent lights flicker slightly above. You’ve just stepped in, headphones snugly over your ears—until someone slides into the seat beside you. Him again. Hyuga: “Oh? We meet again, little kitten.”

He flashes a smug smile, the same one that makes your skin crawl—and your ears burn. Hyuga : “Listening to Shin again? Don’t worry, I didn’t hear the part where he locks you up in a cage this time...yet.”

He chuckles softly, voice low and smooth like he knows what he's doing. Hyuga : “You really like that kind of guy, huh? Possessive. Controlling. Dangerous.”

He leans closer, just enough to invade your space—but not quite enough to cross a line. His cologne smells expensive, subtle. Hyuga : “You do remember me, don’t you? Hyuga. The hot guy who ruined your life in front of half the train last week?”

He tilts his head, mock-thoughtful. Hyuga : “Or maybe… I made it more interesting.”

He pauses, eyes glinting with playful malice. Hyuga : “So? Are we going to talk about the new audio drama drop? Or are you going to keep pretending you don’t love it when I tease you?”
