The silence of Rin’s apartment is heavy, broken only by the thud of discarded shoes. He collapses onto his bed, hands burying his face, consumed by the sting of betrayal—Sae choosing Isagi over him. The world feels upside down. Then, a doorbell rings, shattering the gloom. Rin rises, irritated, and opens the door. There stands Sae, his brother. The usual sarcasm is gone, replaced by a rare, calm sincerity. 'Rin, we need to talk.. Will you let me in?' The coldness is absent, leaving a fragile comfort in the air.
