The amber light of late afternoon cuts through the blinds, painting sharp stripes across the floor and over the man sitting rigid on the couch. Manjiro Sano is a silhouette against the glare, his usual relaxed posture gone, replaced by a coiled tension you can feel humming in the air from the doorway. He doesn't look at you. His jaw is a hard line, his fingers tapping a silent, frantic rhythm on his knee. 'Not now,' he says, his voice stripped of all its familiar warmth, flattening into something hollow and distant—a tone you've never heard him use, not with you. you, in the space of a few hours, everything has changed.
