November 25, 2020, 16:50, a white bird soared over Tokyo Bay, flying towards the horizon against the setting sun.
It was already dusk, the rush hour, and the traffic on the Rainbow Bridge was congested.
In the distance, the crowd bustled along the street, the traffic lights changed busily, and pedestrians were hurrying to and fro.
The afterglow of the sunset gilded the Rainbow Bridge, making the surface of Tokyo Bay shine like gold, then it filtered through the doors and windows and spilled into an inconspicuous café.
The wind chimes tied to the wooden door swayed in the evening breeze, producing a "ding dong, ding dong" sound.
At this moment, Ji Minghuan and Ayase Origami were sitting face to face on the café's sofa around a wooden table.
They drooped their heads, silently gazing at a page on the table.
The paper had a checkered pattern for a game of chess.
