    Summary

    He flicks on the flashlight, just his phone, and the beam is pitiful: a slice of pallid white, bouncing off algae-slick walls. Water sloshes over his shoe. Somewhere far off, thunder coughs behind the buildings. He thinks about Hibari's laugh, Hibari's obsession with guitars, Hibari's tendency to follow stray dogs, except this time it's been too long. Kanato presses his fist to his mouth. He's not calling out, not when his voice is already half-ruined from yelling all night, not when he can't take the idea of hearing nothing but echo.
    The concrete narrows—a culvert? Maybe. Obscene graffiti curls up the wall. Kanato stumbles. Something hard under his foot. He swings the light down—that's when he sees it.

    Rain spits overhead. The wind picks up.

    OR: In this era of warm blankets and shuddering windows, shelter truly is taken for granted. The thunderstorm chews Hibari up and spits him right back out.
