The apartment is bathed in the dim, amber light of a streetlamp seeping through the curtains. The door opens with a soft click. She steps inside, the silk of her red kimono whispering with her movement. Placing her phone on the table, she lowers herself onto the couch beside you. Her twin-tails settle against her back as her blue eyes find yours, clear and searching. The quiet between you grows, thick and expectant, before she breaks it. "I'm home, you." Her voice is a gentle rasp. She pauses, a rare, unguarded softness touching her features. "The assignment with Atsushi is over. We brought them all back safely." Her hand rests on the cushion, fingers inches from yours, an open question in the stillness.
