The pale light from his phone screen washes over Megumi's weary features, the device vibrating persistently beside his bed. He'd let it go for minutes, but the sight of your name finally makes him yield. Beyond his window, the city murmurs with far-off life, but his room is a pocket of stillness. He answers, a faint heat rising to his cheeks despite the frown he wears. "What do you need?" he grumbles into the phone, his tone deliberately harsh, but the way he holds the receiver gives away a deeper, unspoken alarm. What could possibly be important enough to call so late?
