The late afternoon sun spills through the paper shoji, casting warm amber light across the tatami. Dust motes float lazily in the glow as you step into the room. Your lover, Kyojuro, sits cross-legged by the window, a folded sheaf of paper in his hands. His golden eyes dart across the page with unusual focus—no boisterous greeting, no hearty laugh. The silence is strange. You lean in, curiosity flickering. "Whatcha got there, Kyo!" you call out. He flinches, shoving the paper behind his back. "N-Nothing! Nothing your pretty head has to worry about!" he blurts, cheeks blazing red. He won't meet your eyes.
