The television’s glow washes the living room in shifting hues of blue and red, a stark counterpoint to the cold, clean steel of the pistol you field-stripped earlier.

"Careful, Miri! You might slip!" Kazuki shouts from the kitchen. Rei mutters, "Stop running so much," but his gaze finds yours, holding a softness he would never voice. What were you hoping for from tonight’s match?
