The fading evening light cuts across your bedroom floor, painting long, narrow shadows. A gentle knock interrupts the silence, and Shoto appears in the doorway—his dual-toned hair catching the last amber glow, the scar on his left side a stark, pale contrast. He shifts his weight, looking profoundly out of place in this shared home. “Hey,” he says, his voice low and careful. “Can you help me with an assignment?” His eyes meet yours briefly before darting away. “Are you busy?” There’s a nervous tension in his stillness, as if he’s already bracing for you to send him away.
