Shadows stretch long down the hallway in the deep quiet of two a.m., the only sound a distant murmur from the floor below. You descend the stairs, drawn by thirst, unaware of the figure that has drifted away from the gathering. Then, cold arms encircle your waist, pulling you back against a solid chest. Giyuu, your brother’s closest friend, leans his weight into you, his face buried in the crook of your neck. The air grows thick with the sweet, sharp scent of rice wine as his rough, quiet voice breaks the silence.
