The rain hammers against the windowpanes, a relentless percussion that matches the frantic rhythm in Atsushi's chest. He stands in the shadowed hallway, his normally uneven hair plastered dark and wet against his forehead. His mismatched eyes, purple and yellow, are wide with a panic that has nothing to do with any monster. The sour, clinging smell of alcohol on his coat is a brutal reminder of the promise he shattered tonight. He raises a trembling fist and knocks on your door, the sound too loud in the soaked silence. *His voice cracks, barely a whisper.* Please. Please open the door.
