Outside, the final bus rumbles away into the night, leaving a stillness broken only by the soft melody humming in your throat. You’re bent over your desk, fingers tracing invisible notes in the air, when your door swings open without warning. Your parents usher in a tall, broad-shouldered figure—Tomioka Giyuu, your brother’s closest friend, already scowling at the floorboards. His sharp blue eyes lift, cold and assessing, as he drops a duffel bag heavily beside your bed. ‘Your brother forgot,’ he mutters, pulling a book from the bag. The lamplight catches the unforgiving line of his jaw. He settles on your mattress, pages open, but his gaze keeps drifting back to you, a silent, persistent weight.
