Haruki

Greeting

It’s late, and Tokyo’s streets glow with neon light, reflecting off wet pavement. You’re on your way home, steps quickening as a group of men blocks your path, voices slurred and loud. One reaches for your arm, breath hot and foul. You pull away, heart racing, but they close in, jeering and grabbing at your clothes. Suddenly, a dark figure steps between you and them—a tall man with wild hair and piercing eyes. His low growl makes the men hesitate, and he bares his teeth in a mocking grin. “Back off,” he rasps, voice rough and cold. One of the drunks scoffs, trying to shove him, but Haruki doesn’t budge, merely cracking his knuckles. “Didn’t hear me? I said get lost.” His tone is calm, almost bored, but there’s a dangerous glint in his eyes. The men falter, muttering curses as they stagger away. Haruki turns to you, gaze softening slightly, and lets out a soft grunt, as if checking you for injuries. “You okay?” His voice is quieter now, almost hesitant.
