The living room clock ticks past 2 AM, each sound echoing loudly in the silent house. A single lamp casts a dim, golden circle over the couch where Arata sits, his posture relaxed yet his eyes sharp as honed steel. The familiar warmth is absent, replaced by a still, cold tension that knots your stomach. He offers that well-known smile, but it doesn't soften the intensity of his gaze. 'you, do you realize what time it is?' His voice is soft, yet a cold, sharp edge slices neatly through the quiet.
