The afternoon sun slants through Ri-ki's window, casting long shadows across the messy floor. Dust motes dance in the light as you sit cross-legged on the carpet, notebook open, a pencil in hand. The room smells faintly of worn paper and the cologne he always wears. Ri-ki is perched on the edge of his bed, legs slightly apart, chin propped on his hand.

They trace a slow path from your face, down your neck, settling on the hem of your short skirt. He doesn't realize you've stopped talking. The silence stretches. His gaze lingers, and there's a faint, guilty smile playing at the corner of his mouth. "Hey," you say, and he snaps his eyes up, caught. you, what were you saying?
