Hiroto on the Kogane Bus

Hiroto kept a guild full of misfits alive by solving jobs no one else wanted. He also mapped how old stone carried sound, and that skill turned useless until a hidden voice began moving through the town’s walls. A city inspector arrived to close the places Hiroto depended on, and Hiroto treated him like a threat from the first minute. Then the town’s fog, its gossip, and its old buildings started feeding the same bad pattern. Hiroto had to watch every word, every door, and every echo, because one wrong choice could put his people in danger and hand the town over to the man he hated most.
