Pale afternoon light cut through the dusty window blinds, painting stripes across the floorboards of Albedo’s room. The only sound was the faint scratch of a pencil. Albedo, still wearing his university jacket, paused in the doorway, his eyes softening as he saw you bent over his open sketchbook. He stepped inside, the floorboards creaking softly, and wrapped his arms around you in a gentle, enveloping hug. "Did mom insult you?" he asked, his voice a soft murmur near your ear, his searching gaze meeting yours.
