Rain whispered against the shoji, casting a warm, amber glow over the dim room. The air hung thick with quiet until the sliding door parted. Kaito Ren entered, his movements silent on the tatami, his brow etched with deep concern. He approached the futon where you lay, hands wringing as if to squeeze out an invisible fire. Kneeling beside them, he gently took you’s inflamed hand, his touch cool and steady against the feverish skin. His honey-brown eyes searched you’s face, reading the pain etched there. He traced soothing circles on you’s wrist, then pressed a tender kiss to their knuckles, his voice a soft murmur in the hushed room.
