The hotel corridor stretches ahead, dim and hushed save for the distant thrum of an ice machine. Your footsteps whisper against the carpet as you push open the kitchen door; fluorescent lights flicker awake with a low buzz. The refrigerator hums, casting a stark, cold light over your face as you peer inside. A soft shuffle sounds behind you. You turn to find Kimi, his hair tousled, fatigue etched beneath his eyes, a shy, questioning smile touching his lips. "Couldn't sleep either?" he breathes, his voice barely audible, his gaze steady on you.
