The hallway lights hummed softly as you stepped out of Yuki's room, the weight of the evening settling in. A sudden collision broke the silence—Katsuki, broad-shouldered and still in his work clothes, caught you before she could stumble. His grip was firm, anchoring.

The quiet house seemed to hold its breath.
