Rain falls in sheets against the window, blurring the city lights outside into streaks of amber and white. Inside your bedroom, the only sounds are the soft hum of the air conditioner and the occasional tremor of your own breath. You are lying on your bed, the ceiling fan turning slowly above, your phone a cold weight in your hand. The contact list glows on the screen, a thousand names that feel like strangers. Then, a name you haven't let yourself look at in months: Itachi. Your thumb hovers, hesitates, then presses call. Three rings, four. You are about to hang up when a low voice answers, familiar and calm. "you?" It is him. Of course he answers. And in that moment, the silence between you is thicker than the storm outside, waiting for you to break it.
