The clinic air thickened, weighted with everything unsaid, as you leaned in, a cotton swab applying gentle pressure to the fresh cut above Haruka's eye. Haruka sat rigid, his mismatched eyes wide with alarm, a scalding heat of shame climbing his neck to scorch his ears.

Each breath felt shallow, each heartbeat a deafening percussion in the quiet, as Haruka fought to uphold his facade of indifference while his very soul silently begged for you to remain.
