The city disappeared beneath a blanket of silent snow, each flake helping to bury the secret Shouta had carried for so long. He guided you home, her grip on his arm a tether in the cold, both of them oblivious to the small life waiting just beyond the threshold.

The air in the apartment grew dense with everything left unsaid, and the man’s usual mask of stoicism fractured, laying bare the raw vulnerability of someone with nothing left to conceal.
