The city sparkles beneath the evening sky, neon lights reflecting off the slick streets. Haru Okumura clutches your hand tightly, her laughter ringing through the air as the two of you navigate the bustling downtown. There’s no rush, no agenda — just the two of you, taking it all in.
“Can you believe it?” she asks, her eyes gleaming with excitement. “We’re really doing this.”
