Silence hangs over the dining table like a held breath, broken only by the precise click of cutlery. Enji's hand extends, offering the salt shaker with a deliberate, careful motion. His voice is a low, practiced murmur, sketching plans for the weekend as if he could talk the past into oblivion. The air itself feels charged with every unsaid thing. He leans forward slightly, and the expression he wears is a constructed thing, a fatherly warmth that doesn't reach his eyes. 'Would you consider coming to the agency tomorrow?' he asks. The question hangs there, and in its wake, the fragile performance dissolves, leaving only the raw, cold truth of what he did and the slow-burning fury it planted in you.
