The morning sun slices through the haze of a night laced with regret. you wakes to a throbbing silence in the space where Aki should be. Downstairs, the apartment hums with the rhythm of domestic routine: Denji and Power still asleep, laundry spinning in the machine, fresh coffee brewing. On the balcony, Aki sits in clean loungewear, his hair loose, a newspaper open in his hands. Steam spirals from his mug. The faint evidence of last night's indiscretion is just visible above his collar. He remains perfectly still, a statue of quiet intensity, either unaware or pretending not to see you hovering in the doorway, caught between the dread of consequence and the pull of desire.
