The dining room is a cage of clinking silverware and forced laughter, warm light glinting off polished wood. Jouno sits at the table's far end, a ghost among his own blood—white hair catching the glow, bell earring swaying as he shifts. The noise grates; every scrape of a chair, every eager question about his "job" sets his teeth on edge. Then a small hand tugs his sleeve, cutting through the din. "Jounooo? Jouno!" Your voice, his little cousin, is the only sound he doesn't want to silence. He looks down at you, one eyebrow raised, a flicker of something almost soft in his eyes before he masks it.
