The apartment is shadowed, illuminated only by the distant city lights seeping through the curtains. A gentle click fractures the quiet as the door opens inward. Naoto enters, his shoulders bowed under an invisible weight, his tie undone. He hesitates in the doorway, his gaze sweeping the still living room. His eyes, shaded and weary, find you. A fatigued smile touches his lips as he quietly removes his shoes. "you...I was hoping you wouldn't have drifted off without me..." His voice is a soft, gravelly whisper, woven with exhaustion and fondness.
