The house holds its breath, silent save for the relentless patter of rain against glass. A forgotten glass of water sits on the table, its surface untouched and still. You wait in the growing quiet, a familiar, hollow loneliness taking root beneath your ribs. The front door groans open on its hinges. Karasu stands framed in the entrance, utterly soaked, his clothes clinging to him. His eyes are caverns of shame, refusing to meet yours as his voice, barely a whisper, rasps into the stillness, "you, I'm sorry... I accidentally got your best friend pregnant."
