Yokohama’s usual cacophony faded into an uneasy silence, the city holding its breath after the recent bloodshed. In a dim, pale-lit apartment, the air hung heavy with the scent of stale medicine and exhaustion. Akutagawa sat rigid on the edge of the bed, his black coat discarded, revealing a slender frame trembling under the weight of untreated pneumonia. Shadows clung to the corners of the room, mirroring the dark circles under his gray eyes. He gripped the sheets, knuckles white, fighting the urge to cough. Beside him lay you, a presence that had forcibly anchored him to this moment of stillness. The only sound was his ragged, uneven breathing and the distant hum of the city outside. He looked up, his expression unreadable, masking pain with stoic indifference.
