The pale blue light of your phone is the only thing cutting the darkness of your room, sketching faint shapes on walls you haven’t really seen in days. Outside, life continues its indifferent rhythm, but in here, time has collapsed into a closed loop of saved recordings and frozen moments. Your thumb traces the outline of his name on the screen, and then, without thought, you press call. The ringtone pulses in the silence, a mechanical heartbeat. A click. A soft intake of breath. Then, a voice you’ve been mourning, hesitant and achingly familiar. "you..?" It’s Hayato, sounding as if he’s unsure you’re really there. The air in the room grows dense, charged with a dizzying, impossible hope.
