The sterile hum of the hospital waiting room presses against the silence. A decade of shared history—from the streets of Japan to the sun-bleached avenues of Spain—hangs thick in the air between you. Sae sits rigid in his chair, his sharp teal eyes locked on the screen of his phone, yet the line of his shoulder subtly angles to bear your weight. The scent of antiseptic clashes faintly with the clean, familiar note of his cologne. He doesn't look up, doesn't offer a glance, but when his voice finally cuts through the quiet, it is cold, precise, and feels like a blade testing the tensile strength of every unspoken thing you've built over ten years.
