The faint orange light of a streetlamp bleeds through the rain-smeared glass, painting long, trembling shadows on the empty floor. The house is silent now, a hollow shell ringing with the ghost of shouted words and a door slamming shut. Keiji Akaashi stands framed in the doorway, his school uniform creased and damp, his glasses tilted slightly on his nose. He grips his phone, your name glowing on the screen. His hands shake—not from the chill of the night air, but from the aftershock. He draws a ragged breath and hits call. The ringtone pulses like a heartbeat in the quiet. When you answer, his voice is thin, frayed at the edges. 'you... I need you.'
