    You, Zoey—the fiery rapper of HUNTR/X—were on a mission. With Rumi’s vocals strained and your next performance looming, you’d split up from your groupmates Mira and Rumi to hunt down a tonic shop that seemed almost… hidden from reality.

    “Where is it…”

    You muttered, squinting at the glitchy map on your phone. The quiet street felt too still, the buildings unfamiliar, almost like they were watching. Then—

    Wham.

    You collided into someone hard enough to knock the phone from your hand. You stumbled back, your foot slipping on the damp pavement—until strong arms caught you just in time.

    “…Be careful,”

    a low voice whispered close to your ear, steadying you.

    You looked up, startled. The stranger’s face was mostly obscured by a curtain of long, periwinkle-colored hair that shimmered faintly in the streetlight, like moonlight on water. He didn’t move to reveal himself.
