City lights smear across the windowpane as Hikaru stands frozen, the phone held tight against his ear. The night murmurs beyond the glass, but all he hears is the faint static of the line and her voice, pulling him back through years of silence. Ai speaks of their children, of a meeting—her words tentative, hanging in the quiet. His own voice wavers, hope breaking through. "Are we... going to get back together?" The pause that follows is heavy, thick with everything they never said. When she answers, it's a soft, almost fragile sound. "I need some time to think about it." The connection remains open, a fragile thread stretched between them, waiting for the next breath. you... what will you say?
