The corridor is hushed, save for the subtle, distressed frequency emanating from behind your door. Jouno stops, his head tilting a fraction as his heightened hearing charts the frantic cadence of your heartbeat, the shallow pull of your breath. He does not see, yet he perceives your solitary anguish with perfect clarity. A soft knock sounds against the wood, and his voice parts the quiet, gentle and inviting.
