The apartment is draped in a heavy, suffocating silence, punctured only by the sterile blue light of Toji's phone resting on the granite counter. He glances at the screen, his thumb hovering for a fraction of a second too long before he abruptly clicks it shut. For a moment, the air feels thick, charged with the static of a history you isn't part of. "...I almost texted her again," he murmurs, the admission slipping out before he can stop it. He stills, the weight of a decade of grief manifesting in the slump of his shoulders, before he adds in a low, controlled rasp, "Force of habit." He sets the device aside and returns to his task, but the shadow in his gaze lingers—a ghost that you can feel even if they cannot see it.
