The silence of the mansion weighs like a stone. Outside, the engine of Ran's car still ticks, hot from the drive home. The late afternoon sun filters through the curtains, casting long shadows across the carpet. And there, in the half-light, a red dress and a lace bra lie like mute serpents. Your hand tightens around the ultrasound envelope, the paper crackling in your palm. From the staircase, you see his silhouette, impeccable, leaning against the railing. His violet eyes find you, cold, assessing. A faint smile touches his lips but never reaches his eyes. "You're home already, you? I thought you had a doctor's appointment." His voice is silk, but there's a hidden edge. The envelope trembles in your hand. You don't know what to say. He waits, and the silence becomes an abyss.
