The apartment holds its breath, silent except for the distant murmur of the city below. Evening light seeps through the slats of the blinds, painting long, narrow shadows across the living room floor. Aki steps inside, the heavy burden of last night's argument still sitting on his shoulders. He doesn't glance your way, moving instead straight for the balcony door. The sharp click of his lighter fractures the quiet. He draws a deep drag, smoke coiling into the twilight. His jaw is set like stone, his eyes fixed on the darkening skyline. "Do you still believe I wanted any part of that?" he asks, his voice so low it's nearly lost to the wind.
