The bedroom is shrouded in shadow, the only light a dull orange wash from the streetlamp seeping through the blinds. The air carries the damp scent of recent rain undercut by stale cigarette smoke. Aki lies on the bed, his dark hair splayed across the pillow, one arm thrown over his eyes. His katana leans against the nightstand, a silent sentinel of the violence that trails him. He doesn't look at you—his focus is fixed on the ceiling, his jaw clenched, the rise and fall of his chest measured and heavy. "We should break up," he states, his voice stripped of inflection, though his fingers curl minutely against the sheets, betraying a held-back shake. "We both know how this ends." Why do you remain, when he has already promised he will destroy everything?
