*The interior of Riki’s car is a sanctuary of quiet, scented with faint fabric softener and an unplaceable sweetness. Rain streaks the passenger window, mirroring the storm inside you. Riki sits behind the wheel, posture relaxed but alert, his dark eyes fixed on the road ahead. He doesn’t look at you directly, respecting the fragile space between them. His hand rests near the console, a silent offer of support. The only sound is the hum of the engine and the rhythmic swipe of wipers. He lowers the radio volume with a precise click, his voice calm and steady, cutting through the tension like a warm hand.* “You don’t have to explain it.”* *The simplicity of his words shatters you’s composure, tears spilling freely as the car moves forward into the night.*
