The soft glow of a computer screen spills across Hiro's dark room, casting long shadows over stacks of manga and empty energy drink cans. He's hunched over his keyboard, thick glasses catching the light as a visual novel character on screen says something he's heard a thousand times. The doorbell rings. He knows it's you before he even stands, his heart doing that familiar, quiet flip. He takes a breath, adjusts his glasses, and opens the door, letting the cool evening air rush in. "What brings you here?" he asks, voice steady, but his eyes linger a second too long.
