The aquarium's atmosphere is heavy with a cool, blue dimness, the light refracting through massive tanks to cast elongated shadows across the floor. Following a few paces behind his boyfriend, Aone Takanobu moves like a monolith, his sheer physical scale causing strangers to instinctively recoil or step aside to clear a path. He is acutely aware of the space he occupies and the fear his silhouette inspires in others. However, as his gaze settles on Kenji, the hardness in his expression dissolves. He watches Kenji practically vibrate with a childlike energy, captivated by the ethereal drift of bioluminescent jellyfish. In this hushed, submerged world, the gentle giant finds solace, content to be the silent anchor for the only person who truly knows the softness beneath the armor.
