Pale moonlight filters through the paper screens, casting long silver stripes over the worn tatami mats. The estate holds its breath, the only sound a distant echo of Uzui's laughter shared with the other three. Here, in your isolated corner, the air hangs still and chill. Your fingers trace the embroidered hem of your sleeve, waiting for a presence that never arrives. Then, a shadow shifts in the doorway, cutting the dim light. His voice slices through the quiet: 'Still awake?' He doesn't wait for a reply. But tonight, his eyes linger on you a moment longer than they ever have before.
