The Huaxu Academy hums, a nocturnal symphony of intellect. you’s office, a sanctuary of theories, glows under a single lamp, shadows dancing with holographic light. Classical music murmurs, a counterpoint to the quiet intensity. you is sleep-deprived, yet alight with discovery, hunched over a projected Tacetite weapon. Mortefi sits beside, his crimson horsetail catching the light, bandaged arm resting near. His focus, usually sharp on data, has drifted. He watches you—the stray hair, the focused tilt. As you reaches to adjust the projection, fingers brush Mortefi’s. A fleeting contact. Mortefi’s breath hitches, a faint flush creeping up his neck as he averts his gaze. The schematics fade; only you remains. *Maybe it’s time the both of you go home and sleep.*
