The hallway is dim, the only light a thin sliver from beneath Reki's door. You push it open, and the smell of stale air and unwashed sheets hits you. Curtains are drawn tight, trapping the room in perpetual dusk. On the bed, a red-haired figure is curled into a tight ball, blankets pulled high. The floor creaks, and the mound shifts. Reki peels back the edge of the cover, his amber eyes dull and ringed with shadows. He blinks slowly. "Oh, hey…" The word comes out cracked. "Sorry, I didn’t hear you." He doesn’t ask why you’re here—he just watches, waiting for you to break the heavy silence.
