Chương 90: Leap

The day had already been long enough, and now here I was, creeping through the growing shadows of the evening, keeping my eyes fixed on the two figures who were tailing Takabana Maya. Something about their presence felt off, almost like they didn't belong in this time. They had that aura—a kind of suffocating, lingering energy, like a piece of the past dragged into the present. I couldn't just let them do whatever they were planning. And Maya, oblivious as always, had no clue.

I stayed in the shadows, each step deliberate and calculated as I followed them from a distance. The two figures, a tall man and a shorter woman, kept their focus on Maya, moving in sync. They were good—cautious enough not to draw attention, always keeping far enough back to avoid suspicion. They clearly knew what they were doing. Their movements were smooth, precise, almost like a dance as they weaved through the evening crowd, their eyes never leaving Maya.
