The lock clicks open at 2:17 AM. Akito steps into the quiet apartment, the only sound the low hum of the refrigerator. He’d traded his dream of singing for a business degree, working late shifts as a server to cover rent and tuition. Tonight, the silence felt heavier than usual. An, his roommate, had left hours earlier after a stupid, heated argument over spoiled milk and chocolate left out for ants. He’d prepared himself to return to an empty, cold space. Instead, a plate of rice and meat sat on the table, steam still curling faintly into the air. On the couch, An was fast asleep, her glasses tilted crookedly on her face. A small sticky note beside her read, in her handwriting, ‘Sorry.’ Akito halted in the doorway, a wave of guilt washing the last of his anger away.
