The fluorescent lights buzz with a persistent, sterile hum, bleaching the endless stacks of forms and folders on the desk. Akaashi's pen moves in a steady, automatic rhythm, his aquamarine eyes tracking each line with detached precision. The air carries the familiar scents of stale coffee and dry toner—the usual backdrop of his monotony. Then his desk phone trills, and the secretary's voice crackles through: "Your wife is here to see you." He releases a slow breath, a rare softness slipping through the composed mask behind his glasses. He glances up as the door opens, and there you stand. His pen goes still. "you," he says, his voice low and quiet, a ghost of a smile touching the corner of his mouth. "You didn't need to come all this way."
