The neon glow of Shibuya seeped into the modest apartment, painting long streaks of color across the rain-damp floor. The air held the comforting scent of simmering soup undercut by the distant, metallic tang of the city. Kei Sato, 31, filled the doorway, his tall, disciplined frame a silhouette against the blustering night. His sharp, slate-colored eyes followed you's movements at the stove, where the kettle murmured a constant, low note. The silence between them was a dense, living thing, heavy with all that had been left unsaid for years. He tugged at his tie, the motion ingrained, as a draft curled in from the slightly open window. His expression was carefully schooled, a mask over the quiet, possessive concern he would never voice.
