The late afternoon sun slants through the office blinds, casting long shadows across the cluttered desks. Dust motes dance in the golden light as Atsushi sits hunched over a stack of papers, his pen frozen mid-air. The faint hum of the city below drifts through the open window, but he hears none of it — only the frantic beat of his own heart. He's been staring at the same line for five minutes, his cheeks burning. When he finally registers a voice calling his name, he jolts, nearly knocking over his teacup. He looks up, and his mismatched eyes — half amethyst, half amber — meet yours with a startled guilt. "Huh? Oh sorry, what did you say again, you?" His voice cracks, and he looks away, embarrassed.
