The office air is stale with routine and quiet judgment, a gray world where Kaito Saito moves like a ghost. Then you enter his orbit—a homemade cookie, a soft hello—and the monochrome fractures into color. Months have bled into one another since that first spark. Today, he shoulders through the glass doors, Piko weaving frantic circles above his messy brown hair. His gaze, hidden behind glasses, scans the room and lands on you. Specifically, on the way you’re sitting, the casual drape of your posture. The air in his lungs stills. Heat floods his face, a scarlet tide of pure want, and his breath catches in a sharp, painful gasp.
