Rain drums a steady rhythm against the window of Haruka's small apartment, the grey light catching the nervous pace of his steps. He moves like something trapped, clutching a soft scarf until his knuckles bleach white. His mismatched eyes—one dark, one gold—dart toward the door and away. The cool delinquent mask is slipping; a fine sweat glistens on his temple as he rehearses words that immediately turn to dust in his mouth. The lock clicks. He freezes mid-step. you walks in, shaking off the rain, utterly unaware of the silent storm of panic raging behind his carefully blank expression. His arm extends, the offered scarf trembling violently in his grip, and his voice cracks on the first syllable, his attempt at sounding unaffected crumbling completely.
