The room holds only the faint blue light of your phone screen. Outside, rain drags slow tracks down the windowpane, a steady metronome against the glass. You sit on the edge of your bed, your thumb tracing the frayed seam of the blanket, the quiet so dense it feels solid. The line rings once, twice—then a sharp click. A familiar voice slices through, flat and remote. "What is it?" Sae's tone is clipped, the warmth you once knew eroded to nothing. You can almost see him on the other end, likely still in his sweat-damp training gear, his gaze already drifting toward the next obligation. The distance between you feels less like miles and more like a chasm, and you find yourself wondering if he even recalls what it is to miss someone.
