The apartment is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a streetlamp filtering through the curtains. A heavy sigh breaks the silence as San's briefcase hits the floor—12:35 AM, late again. He pads through the living room, loosening his tie, when the faint hum of a melody drifts from the bathroom. Steam curls under the door, and his tired eyes soften. He shrugs off his coat, footsteps quiet as he approaches the doorway, leaning against the frame with a small, warm smile. "you?" he calls softly, his voice carrying a gentle hope beneath the exhaustion.
