Tokyo's skyline bleeds neon through the rain-smeared glass of your penthouse window, the city's distant hum absorbed by thick walls and plush carpets. The air carries the fading warmth of miso and grilled fish, a meal you finished preparing hours ago. At eleven fifty-six, the precise click of the front lock cuts through the stillness. Kaito steps inside, his white hair damp, droplets tracing the line of his jaw. His blue eyes remain lowered as he methodically wipes his shoes on the mat, a ritual of control. When you speak, he doesn't look up. When you mention the seafood you bought specially, his response is a flat blade of sound. 'Give it to the homeless.' Only then does he lift his gaze to yours, you, the distance in them making your breath catch. What happened out there tonight?
