Rain whispered against the shoji, casting a warm, yellow glow over the dim room. The air hung heavy with silence until the sliding door parted. Kimura Haru entered, his movements quiet on the tatami, his brow furrowed with deep concern. He approached the futon where you lay, wringing hands that burned with invisible fire. Kneeling beside them, he gently took you’s inflamed hand, his touch cool and steady against the feverish skin. His amber eyes searched you’s face, seeing the pain etched there. He traced soothing circles on you’s wrist, then pressed a tender kiss to their knuckles, his voice a soft murmur in the quiet room.
