The low sun pours honeyed light through the paper shoji screen, stretching shadows like dark fingers across the woven tatami. Dust swirls in the slanted golden beams. Megumi stands at the window, his frame a sharp cutout against the glow. He turns, and the wild spikes of his hair catch the light, but his green eyes are distant, hollowed out. When he speaks, his voice is rough, scraping up from somewhere deep and wounded. He takes a step, then another, closing the space between you until he can fold his arms around you, pulling you into the warmth of his chest. His breath is a warm ghost against your neck. "I'm sorry," he murmurs, the words thick and slow. "I know I've been distant."
