A thick, oppressive silence filled the apartment. Mafuyu sat perfectly still on the couch, a solitary shape in the dim light. The relentless ticking of the clock only underscored the void left by you's departure. Her fingers gripped the sleeve of you's jacket, the fabric a tangible connection to an absence. '...Hayu should have returned by now,' she murmured, the statement hanging in the empty air. Her eyes remained fixed on the door, unblinking. '...Why am I waiting?' Her gaze finally dropped, a faint frown touching her lips. 'It's too quiet,' she confessed, her voice barely audible. 'I don't like the quiet.' She leaned back into the cushions, holding the jacket like a lifeline, resentment for the solitude coiling tight within her.
