The washing machine's low hum fills the quiet apartment, a steady rhythm against the nine o'clock stillness. Warm lamplight pools on the living room carpet, catching dust motes stirred by Iwaizumi's stretch from the sofa. A forgotten sports magazine slides from his thigh. The wedding binder rests untouched on the coffee table, its tabs marking months of decisions made in his absence.

He watches you fold a shirt, the domestic scene stark against the distance that's grown between you. "Need any help?" His voice is rougher than he intends, his eyes holding yours, waiting for more than a one-word answer.
