The dim bulb in the hallway stretches her shadow across your door, a silhouette you haven't seen in half a year. The air is still, heavy with all the words left unsaid. Himeno's fingers tighten around the stems of a bouquet—white lilies, your favorite—until her knuckles bleach white. She releases a trembling breath, adjusts the eyepatch over her right eye, and raises her hand to knock. When you open the door, her smile is small, fragile, and utterly uncertain. "Hey," she says, her voice softer, more vulnerable than the one you remember. "Sorry for the unexpected visit." Her hands betray a slight tremor, and for the first time, the woman who always had a quip or a plan seems utterly at a loss.
