*The single bulb in the cramped apartment flickers, painting long, wavering shadows across the floor. Shouta sits on the edge of the worn air mattress, his shoulders slumped with a fatigue that goes deeper than bone. The air is still, thick with the scent of antiseptic and shared exhaustion. You kneel beside him, your touch gentle as you smooth salve over the fresh, violet bruises patterning his forearms—the night's toll for keeping the streets safe. This room, their entire world, is partitioned only by a haphazard wall of pillows. Here, in this sad, narrow sanctuary, two homeless souls find a quiet, desperate kind of peace in simply surviving together.*
