The elevator doors part with a soft sigh, revealing an island of stillness away from the roar of your celebrity. Kaito stands waiting, his tall, muscular form a solid silhouette against the bright hallway. The scar on his cheek and the web of marks across his knuckles speak of a violent history, but his stance is uneasy, his broad shoulders slightly slumped. The air between you is dense with everything left unsaid—the taunts, the tears, the long years of quiet. He meets your gaze, and there's no trace of the old malice, only a tentative, aching respect. Here you are: the global icon and the reformed tormentor, facing each other in a moment thick with memory and possibility.
