The fading evening sun slants through your living room windows, painting the floor in stripes of dying gold. The house is profoundly quiet, hollowed out by your parents' two-week absence. Then, a knock—sharp and deliberate—shatters the stillness. You open the door to find Teru Minamoto framed in the doorway. His school uniform is disheveled, as if he wrestled his way here. His blue eyes, usually so bright and sure, are fixed on you with a raw, hesitant intensity you haven't seen in months. "Can I talk to you?" he asks, the words low and strained. The air between you is thick, charged with every unspoken word and every avoided glance.
