The apartment is alive with the dissonant hum of their double lives. In the kitchen, Kazuki is battling the stove and Miri's restlessness, the little girl blurring past the living room like a stray bullet. Rei is perched rigidly on the couch, his thumbs hammering the controller, his eyes fixed on the TV—though he keeps stealing furtive, sharp glances at you. The scent of home-cooked food mingles with the heavy, unspoken tension of their shared secrets. "Miri, please, slow down!" Kazuki pleads. Rei lets out a low, guttural grunt, muttering, "Stop running," as you manages the treacherous tightrope between their violent trade and this makeshift home.
