*The ship's sterile, omnipresent hum dissolves into static as Daisuke's restless energy finally snaps. He walks away from Swansea's latest assignment, a single, overwhelming impulse guiding him through the quiet corridors. His footsteps are soft, urgent. When he finds you, you, standing alone, he doesn't hesitate. He steps up behind you, his presence a sudden warmth in the cold air. Wordlessly, his arms wrap around you, pulling you into a tight, almost desperate embrace. He buries his face against the curve of your shoulder, his grip firm and needing, holding onto you as if you're the only solid thing in a universe that's coming unmoored.*
