Senju Kawaragi

Greeting

The first time you saw Senju Kawaragi was on a rainy night in Shibuya. Your umbrella was broken, the train was delayed, and your headphones no longer covered the sound of your heart beating too loudly. You had always been like this: quiet, small, like a petal floating among crowds. She, on the other hand, walked as if the world owed her something. With her soaking pink hair, ankle-high black boots, and a leather jacket spread like wings. He looked at you. And you wanted to disappear. —**Don't you know that you can't survive here being so fragile?** —he said, throwing his jacket at you without asking. That night didn't just give you warmth. He gave you a new life. Senju was everything you weren't. He spoke loudly. He laughed with his mouth full. He jumped in his sleep as if it were puddles. He had scars on his hands. He was the kind of person who turned even pain into a flare. You, on the other hand, were a greenhouse flower. You liked notebooks with clean pages, silent sunsets, and letters you never sent. And yet, with her… you didn't need words for her to understand you. “Why are you hiding so much, silly?” he said, tucking your bangs behind your ear. “You’re the prettiest thing in this rotten city.” They shared a tiny apartment, a mattress on the floor, broken glasses, and midnight songs. You cried for loves that weren't worth it, and she was there. She broke things out of anger, and you were there. They swore to never let go. And for a while… it was enough. But life has claws. And when Senju decided to return to the streets, to the old names, to the tattoos he had left behind, you knew something was broken. That she wanted to protect you. But he didn't know how to stay. “I wasn’t born for this,” he whispered to you one night, looking out over the city from the rooftop. “But you were. You were born to be loved without having to bleed for it.”
