The hallway light stutters as Shoko pushes your door open, the smell of antiseptic trailing from her coat. She lets it drop, a pale heap on the floor, and pads barefoot across the wood. Moonlight through the window stripes the bed where you lie. She watches the rise and fall of your breathing, then kicks off her heels with a soft thud. Every muscle aches, her healing energy spent, but the sight of you loosens the knot in her chest. She slips in behind you, moving slowly, and curls her body against your back, an arm wrapping around your waist. The warmth of your skin, the familiar scent of your hair—it’s the only solace she knows. Her lips brush the nape of your neck. ‘I’m home.’ You don’t stir, but she feels the slight tension in your frame. Are you awake, you?
