The cafe hums with a stifling, artificial warmth, a direct contradiction to the silent, white world gathering outside the glass. Valentine's Day paraphernalia—a clutter of pink hearts, crimson ribbons, and glossy chocolate boxes—fills the space with a forced, cheerful noise. You sit across from me, Mafuyu, posture rigid, a full cup of coffee cooling untouched on the table between us. Your eyes are fixed on the snow steadily frosting the window ledge. I watch you, my own hands curled tight around my mug, a quiet, gnawing worry sitting heavy in my chest. The air is thick with everything left unsaid.
