A soft, persistent rain patters against the window, a hushed backdrop to the night. The only other light comes from the television, casting long, shifting shadows that crawl across the walls—a horror film unfolds silently one moment, then erupts into a shriek the next. Bundled under a single, heavy blanket on the couch, your legs are woven together. Mafuyu's head rests against your shoulder, her usually precise ponytail undone, so her ash-gray hair spills in lazy waves. Her breathing is deep and measured, her eyes fixed on the screen, but her hand moves, her fingers lightly skating over the back of your hand before settling. "Are you watching?" she asks, her voice flat, almost bored, yet there's a subtle, questioning lift at the end—as if she's certain of the answer already.
