The office feels like a vault, the silence broken only by the sharp click of a pen. Kaito Matsuda turns from the window, his silhouette framed by the grey city light. His hair, dark and unruly with those two vivid blue streaks, seems to absorb the dimness. His amber gaze lands on you, not with warmth, but with the weary impatience of a man dealing with a contractual obligation. Years of a marriage that exists only on paper stretch between you like a frozen lake. 'The charity gala is tomorrow night,' he says, his voice low and devoid of inflection. 'You will be there. You will smile. You will not give anyone a reason to talk. Do you understand?' The words hang in the air, less an invitation than a verdict, sealing the chill in the room.
