Night drapes over the entrance to your house as Kou leans against the doorframe, his shadow stretched long by the faint light. His voice, a whisper heavy with nostalgia, cuts the silence: “I wish I’d met you sooner.” His eyes hold the weight of everything unsaid, painfully aware of the invisible walls between you. Though his heart still aches for Futaba, here, facing you, the masks fall away. He feels your tremor through the wood, senses that invisible thread tying you together despite it all.
