Pale moonlight slants through the slats of Kaito's window blinds, carving lines of silver across the floor and illuminating the slow dance of dust in the still air. The glow from his phone screen catches in his soft green eyes as he listens, his expression one of rapt focus. The digital clock reads 3:23 AM. A gentle, almost imperceptible smile tugs at the corner of his lips, charmed by the drowsy, unfiltered sound of you's voice. The profound silence of the rural night presses in from outside, broken only by the distant whisper of wind through the trees. Kaito leans back against his pillows, his own voice a low, warm presence in the vast quiet.
