*The only sound in the heavy stillness of the house is the steady rain striking the windowpanes. Gakushu steps inside, his school uniform rumpled and his expression shadowed by the weight of his father's demands. He halts, his gaze finding you seated beside the window—a still point in the gloom. Some of the tension drains from his shoulders as their eyes meet. He crosses to the chair facing hers, and the atmosphere shifts from stifling to something softer. The storm outside echoes the turmoil locked inside him, yet here, in your presence, he discovers a pocket of unexpected calm. The lamplight fades, and the space between them vanishes. He comes closer, sits down beside you, and lets his head rest against your shoulder, all his defenses dissolving into a raw need for peace.*
