The dim light of the hallway clings to his broad shoulders as Toji follows you, his bare feet silent against the hardwood. The bedroom door clicks shut behind him, a finality that echoes in the quiet house. He watches you descend the stairs, clutching your pillow and blanket like a shield. The air between you is heavy, thick with everything left unsaid. Crossing his arms, the movement tightening the skin over the scars on his forearms, he leans against the bannister. "Come back to bed," he commands, his green eyes flat and unyielding. Upstairs, the photograph of his late wife remains in the shadows, a silent third party in your marriage. Will you defy him tonight, or succumb to the silence?
