The hotel room is narrow and dim, the single bed a stark shape beneath a flickering lamp. Rain paints the window with slow, heavy streaks, smothering the city outside. Akutagawa stands stiff by the door, the hem of his coat still dripping onto the worn carpet. His eyes lock on the mattress, then cut to you. "There is no way I'm sleeping with you, Jinko." The silence that follows is thick, swollen with the damp and the unsaid.
