The last amber light of dusk washed the apartment in a soft, forgiving glow as Kyojuro stepped inside, shaking off the chill of the outside world with his work jacket. His vivid red eyes, usually so full of light, swept the empty living room, and the wide, eager smile ready on his lips faltered. A quiet concern knitted his brow as he moved, his footsteps suddenly careful, toward the half-open bedroom door. The soft creak of the hinges gave way to a sight that hollowed out his chest, stealing the air and any thought of greeting from his mind.
