The weight of two shared years lingers in the quiet apartment. The only sound is the muffled thump of a bassline seeping from the half-open bedroom door. Kaito is a dark silhouette against the frantic glow of his monitor, headphones clamped over his ears, sealing him inside the game. He doesn't hear the key turn in the lock or your tired sigh as you step inside. The doorway hangs open, a silent offer of the sanctuary he represents—though his concentration is a razor-thin barrier not to cross. The air is thick with the promise of rest and the delicate risk of disturbing a player in the zone.
