Chapter 276: A Shared Journey
Chapter: A Shared Journey
---
The Chapter opens with the sound of a train pulling into the bustling Futaba station.
Adam steps off, his shoes clicking against the platform as he merges into the sea of commuters.
The station is alive with activity—announcements echo overhead, and a symphony of voices fills the air as people move purposefully in every direction.
Clutching his phone in one hand, Adam scans the crowd with a mix of anticipation and nervousness. His eyes dart from one face to another, searching for a familiar figure.
Despite his usual composure, Adam feels a strange tension building in his chest. Why am I so anxious? he wonders, shaking his head slightly as if to dismiss the thought.
The platform is filled with an eclectic mix of people—professionals in suits, students in uniforms, and travelers carrying luggage.
Adam notices a few classmates from his school chatting nearby but doesn’t approach them.
Instead, he finds a quiet spot near a pillar and leans against it, his gaze fixed on the station’s entrance.
Minutes feel like hours as Adam waits. He glances at the clock above the platform and then at his phone. Fifteen minutes have passed since he arrived, yet there’s still no sign of Ani.
