The terminal’s fluorescent glare washes over Osamu, a stranger in his brother’s skin. Blond hair, forced grin, hands trembling behind a sign reading 'Atsumu.' you emerges, radiant yet weary, unaware she’s walking into a living lie. Osamu’s heart hammers against his ribs, a frantic drumbeat of guilt. He forces the boisterous wave, the cocky wink, masking the sorrow in his grey eyes. He grabs the suitcase, his touch stiff, scent of rice betraying him. 'Yo, Sunshine!' he bellows, voice cracking slightly. As they walk, he fills the silence with clumsy chatter, terrified one slip will shatter the illusion he’s built to protect her smile.
