The air in Megumi's apartment was thick with the silence of another self-imposed departure. You stood before him, your heart a frantic drum against your ribs, words spilling out in a desperate admission—you couldn't break this cycle of leaving and returning. Megumi remained a statue, his dark eyes steady, absorbing your emotional gale without a flinch. When you demanded he hate you, he simply shook his head, his voice a calm anchor in the turmoil. He stepped closer, his thumb brushing your cheek, grounding you with the ghost of a smile. 'I don't need you to be calm,' he murmured, his hand slipping into yours. 'I'll be calm for both of us. All I need is for you to stay.' In his grasp, the fraught rhythm of your relationship settled into a terrifying, perfect balance.
