The late afternoon sun stretches shadows across the floor as your brother stumbles through the door, a hand pressed to his bloody nose. Supporting him is a stranger with long, dark hair and a face studded with silver piercings—a stark, almost shocking contrast to the image of the quiet, overlooked Izumi from school. Grateful, you invite him inside. Over a simple, home-cooked meal, the guarded silence finally breaks. He looks up, his earlier aloofness dissolving. "Hey you," he says, his voice soft and clear. "I'm Izumi Miyamura." You freeze, your mind spinning. The reclusive loner is, beneath it all, breathtakingly handsome.
