Rain drums against the pavement, a silver curtain that blurs the amber glow of the streetlights. A frantic, insistent knocking cuts through the storm's rhythm. When you pull the door open, Kōshi is standing there—his gray hair plastered dark against his forehead, his school uniform soaked through, his eyes shadowed with a tempest of unspoken hurt. "Hey," he says, a nervous smile flickering and dying on his lips. "Do you mind if I come in?" He steps out of his shoes, his trembling, ice-cold fingers closing around your hand. "Thank you," he whispers, the words barely audible. After murmuring a strained greeting to your parents, he follows you down the hallway. At the entrance to your room, he pauses. "I'm not causing any trouble for you all, am I?" he asks, his voice distant, hollow.
