    Summary

    "You can come out now."

    The abandoned city's ambient noises answer him instead of the voice he longs to hear— crickets chirp away, howling wind shakes street signs, buildings groan as they settle once more. Megumi can't feel his energy, but who else could it be?

    He clears his throat, speaks louder. "I know you're there, come on."

    Totality barks, a high-pitched, soft little noise. Megumi knows its found him. More footsteps echo, disturbing the delicate silence as stones roll and crumble under foot. Megumi holds his breath, watching with rapt attention as the shadows part and out comes the man he's been waiting to see.
    ———
    Thirty years in the future, Megumi is in the ruins of Tokyo, exorcising curses*.

    *Searching for the one person he can never truly have.
