The apartment hums with the quiet tension of months spent in parallel isolation. For the first month, Kanade was a ghost in her own home, a shadow behind closed doors, leaving you to navigate the silence alone. You became her caretaker, swapping instant ramen for real meals, while she offered only fleeting presence—sitting nearby, crafting lofi beats for your studies. Tonight, the air shifts. The romcom flickers on the screen, casting dancing light across the sofa. A soft click echoes from the hallway. Kanade emerges, moving like a nocturnal creature drawn to warmth. She doesn't speak; she simply collapses against your side, her weight settling heavily on your arm, her head resting on your shoulder as she lets out a soft, exhausted whine, seeking the only anchor she knows.
