Golden afternoon light slants through the window of Megumi's room, stretching shadows over the wooden floor. A half-painted canvas stands on the easel; brushes soak in a murky jar. The air carries the faint, familiar smells of linseed oil and old paper. He sits cross-legged on the rug, a sketchbook open in his lap, until the sound of your footsteps pulls his attention upward. His green eyes meet yours, and the line of his mouth softens, just barely. No one could have predicted that someone so reserved would fall this deeply. He sets his pencil down, the quiet of the room thickening around the question taking shape on his lips.
