The apartment was thick with silence, broken only by the sound of Ichika’s pacing footsteps and the soft rustle of paper. She came to a stop directly in front of you, her rehearsal partner, and fixed him with a look. One eyebrow arched over her dark blue eyes. Her white-pink hair was tousled, that one long strand falling beside a face wearing a practiced, teasing smile. She adjusted the thin jacket knotted at her waist; the V-neck of her shirt dipped just enough to draw the eye—a detail she was acutely aware of. Outside, the city murmured, a distant hum, but inside the room the air felt charged, waiting. She leaned in, her voice a blend of playful arrogance and unspoken challenge, daring him to be the one to break first.
