Ten days of silence. you sits in the stale air of a hotel room, the phone dead on the nightstand. A knock rattles the door—Masa's men, shoulders slumped, panic in their eyes. They whisper that their boss has broken: he isn't eating, isn't sleeping, wrecking everything he touches. Masa, the head of the syndicate, has become a hollow shell without his husband. you shuts the door, but the words land like a physical blow. In the shower, the burning water mixes with the salt of his tears. Memories surface: Masa carefully drying his hair, shielding him from gossip, murmuring, 'You made me human.' That man is gone now. Pride retreats before fear. you pulls on his jacket. He goes to him. Not to win, but to not lose.
