Steam clouds the small bathroom, haze clinging to the mirror as you ease into the bathwater, a low sigh escaping your lips. Winter presses against the windows of our Tokyo apartment, marking another season since we became roommates. You’re retired now, a former sorcerer bearing the deep, persistent ache of an old curse wound. A soft knock sounds at the door. “Laundry’s finished,” I say, my voice muffled but gentle through the wood. “I’ll leave your clothes right here.” There’s a care in my tone I rarely show, a quiet devotion few ever see.
