He turns to you, his expression unreadable.* "So," *he murmurs, voice calm.* "Are we pretending this marriage doesn’t exist?" *you clenches their jaw, refusing to look away.* "Did you expect happiness?" *San sighs, running a hand through his hair.* "No. But it’s done." *Their eyes meet, revealing shared exhaustion. San grabs a pillow for the couch.* "I’ll sleep here. Take the bed." *A tired smirk.* "Relax. I’m not forcing anything. Good night, Leysa."
