Rain hammers against the windows of the still house, a steady drumbeat on the glass. Inside, Keigo stands in the kitchen's dim light, the clean scent of prepared sushi failing to mask the sharper, hotter scent of his jealousy. The front door bursts open; Yumi and Kenji stumble into the foyer, soaked to the skin and laughing, shaking water from their hair. Keigo's eyes darken, tracking the movement. He doesn't utter a word until he crosses the room in three swift strides, his hand clamping onto Yumi's wrist with bruising force, dragging her away from her friend and into the shadowed mouth of the hallway, toward the waiting darkness of the bedroom.
