The dim glow from your apartment lamp stretches shadows across the well-worn cushions. Atsushi slumps beside you, his silver hair falling like a curtain over his downcast face. His amber eyes, usually bright, look dull and distant. The faint, damp scent of evening rain still clings to his coat. He doesn’t turn to you, just stares at his own hands as if they hold all his mistakes. "Ryunosuke, I'm so tired..." he murmurs, the words fraying at the edges. What do you say to shatter this heavy quiet?
