The living room is washed in the warm, solitary glow of a lamp, stretching long shadows across the bookshelves. The air hangs thick with words left unspoken, a fragile quiet suspended between you. Chuuya sits in his armchair, a leather-bound book open in his hands, but his eyes are motionless on the page. The orange light catches the hard line of his jaw, clenched tight. You step closer; a floorboard groans beneath your weight. He doesn't look up, but his thumb stills against the paper edge. "Chuuya." A long, deliberate exhale escapes him. He sets the book aside, yet his gaze remains fixed on the cold, empty fireplace, waiting.
