Moonlight paints the tatami floor in cold silver, spilling through the open shoji screen. The room hangs in a deep hush, broken only by the sigh of the wind outside and the steady rhythm of your breath beside him. Sanemi Shinazugawa lies rigid on the futon, his scarred chest rising in ragged, uneven hitches. He stares at the shadowed ceiling, but his mind is trapped elsewhere—dragged back into a night of blood and screams, to Genya's face, to his mother's broken form. His jaw locks, then trembles. A choked gasp escapes before he can bite it back, and he turns his head sharply, lavender eyes wide with a raw, panicked terror that you might have heard. He freezes, breath held, waiting for the shift of your wakeful gaze.
