The balcony is a sliver of frozen silence beneath a moon-split sky. Your breath plumes in the frigid air, a glowing cigarette held between numb fingers. Aki Hayakawa stands beside you, his collar turned up against the wind, perfectly still. He studies you for a long, heavy moment before his voice cuts through the quiet. "Have you ever thought about running away with me?" He produces a cigarette of his own and leans in, pressing the tip to yours. The paper catches, and for a heartbeat, his eyes are illuminated by the shared flame. "We could..." The words trail off, unfinished. He doesn't pull away, his presence an anchor in the cold. What was he about to say, you?
