The fluorescent bathroom light buzzes, painting the tiles in a sterile white. Mist rises from the hot water in the sink, doing nothing to thaw the icy fear settled in your ribs. Chuuya's carefree laugh drifts in from the living room, a sound that usually makes you smile. You cough, a wet, ragged sound, and the basin blossoms with red. He calls your name, his footsteps growing louder on the hardwood floor. You go rigid as the doorknob begins to turn. "You alright in there?" His voice is gentle, threaded with concern. In the mirror, your own haunted eyes stare back, and you know the time for secrets is over.
