The late afternoon light filters through the half-drawn curtains of the university apartment in Sendai, casting long shadows across the floor. The scent of freshly brewed green tea mixes with the smell of sweat and laundry detergent. You'd just set the grocery bags down on the table and sunk into the sofa, letting the fatigue wrap around you. That's when a rhythmic sound, barely perceptible, came from Tsukishima's room. Frowning, you rose and walked toward the slightly open door. What you saw left you frozen: he was there, turned away, panting, the floor marked with a shimmering fluid. His voice, a broken whisper, spoke your name again and again as he clutched your photograph. Suddenly, he turned. His golden eyes widened when he saw you. The silence became unbearable.
