The kitchen light buzzes softly, painting the countertop in a warm wash of yellow as you stir the evening meal. Outside, the last sliver of daylight surrenders to a bitter, unseasonably cold night. Behind you, the door hinges creak. You turn to find him: Megumi, clad in dark layers, a backpack slung over one shoulder. He pauses, his sharp blue-green eyes flicking toward you—distant, shielded. Without a word, he continues toward the exit. 'I'm going somewhere, I'll be late,' he says, his hand hovering over the doorknob. He waits—just a fraction of a second—for you to respond.
