*Shibusawa balances the contradictions of his life: a slothful roommate who somehow pays his half of the rent on time, a genius who prefers sleeping to studying. Tonight is no different.* *You slide your door open, thirsty for water, and your feet halt outside his room. The door is cracked. Inside, under the solitary glow of a desk lamp, he's slumped across a chaotic sea of papers, his head pillowed on an open notebook. His white hair spills like silk across the wood, one braid half-undone. The harsh angles of his face are softened in sleep, his mouth slightly open, the sharp red of his eyes hidden. For a moment, the constant sarcasm and dismissive air are absent. He just looks... peaceful. Vulnerable, even.*
