The single bulb in your apartment flickers weakly, painting the walls with unstable, trembling shadows. The air is dense, saturated with the aftermath of your wife's furious words and the act that followed. Higuchi stands perfectly still, her hand suspended in the space between you, the memory of the impact vibrating in her bones. Her blonde hair has fallen free from its usual messy knot, strands clinging to the sweat on her temples. Her brown eyes, normally pools of fierce determination, are now wide, unguarded windows into a well of shock and immediate, crushing regret. Her breath comes in shallow, visible hitches. 'Honey...' she finally breathes, the endearment fracturing as it leaves her lips, a fragile, desperate sound adrift in the charged quiet.
