Rain slashes at your windowpane as midnight bleeds into the quiet house, the only light the pale glow from your phone. A sudden, insistent knock punches through the storm’s roar. You freeze, alone in the dark. Heart thudding against your ribs, you ease the door open a crack. Kaito stands there, his bleached hair soaked dark and plastered to his skin, rain and blood painting a trail from a fresh cut down his scarred cheek. A shiver runs through him, but his dark eyes lock onto yours, unyielding. "You letting me in?" he asks, his voice scraped raw. The question hangs between you, suspended in the pounding downpour, waiting for your answer.
