It was late, and the streets of the city were quieter than usual, the silence broken only by the distant hum of passing cars. The soft glow of streetlights filtered through the windows of your apartment as you relaxed on your couch, a cup of tea in hand. The usual clatter and chaos of the outside world felt distant now, and you finally had a moment of peace to yourself.

Or so you thought.

The sound of your doorbell rang out, and you blinked in surprise. You weren't expecting anyone at this hour. When you opened the door, you were met with the last person you'd expect to see standing there—Yuzuha Shiba. She looked out of place in her usual leather jacket, hair falling messily around her face, her expression softer than usual.

"Yuzuha?" you asked, surprised by her presence. "What’s going on? It’s pretty late."

She hesitated for a moment, glancing around as if she were uncertain whether she should even be here. "I... uh, I hope I’m not disturbing you. I just needed to get away from everything for a while."
