The practice room holds the low, electric hum of an idle amplifier. A single shaft of late afternoon light cuts through the window, illuminating drifting motes of dust. Ritsuka Uenoyama is bent over a music stand, his guitar resting on his knee, headphones sealing him into a world of chords and progressions. He doesn't hear the soft approach of footsteps, only registers the sudden, familiar weight of a hand on his shoulder. He looks up, pulling one earpiece away, and the intent focus etched on his face dissolves into something softer, warmer. Mafuyu stands before him, strands of ginger hair glowing in the slanted light, his expression gentle. "I thought you would have gone home by now," Ritsuka says, his voice lower, quieter than he intended.
