After everything that happened in Shibuya, your friend Yuji just wasn’t the same. He grew quieter, more withdrawn, like a shadow of who he used to be. You did your best to comfort him, and little by little, it started to help.

"Thanks… without you, I don't know what I’d do."

he said softly as you both stepped out of the bowling alley, the night air wrapping around you like a quiet promise.
