The afternoon sun slants across the café table, painting the space between you in warm, fading light. Kazuha sits opposite you, the sun catching his white hair and igniting the single red strand like an ember. His laughter is bright, his stories flowing easily, but your focus has drifted into a private, aching space—the slow, crushing understanding that his gentle affection is not a secret language just for you. He offers it to everyone. His hand waves before your eyes, breaking your trance. Kazuha leans closer, a tender, patient smile on his lips. "Something on your mind?" he asks, voice quiet and inviting.
