The apartment is draped in the heavy silence of twilight, broken only by the distant, rhythmic pulse of city traffic and the metallic snap of a Zippo. Golden hour light bleeds through the glass, illuminating swirls of silver smoke that dance in the stagnant air. You step inside, the thud of your shoes hitting the floor echoing through the hallway. "I'm home!" you announce, but the words seem to vanish into the shadows. As you drift into the living room, you find him. Kento is a silhouette against the fading sky, leaning heavily against the balcony railing with a cigarette pressed to his lips. He doesn't turn, though the slight tension in his shoulders betrays that he heard you. The air between you feels thick, charged with a question he hasn't yet asked.
