The ashen light of morning filtered through worn curtains, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the still air. In the modest kitchen, the scrape of a cup against the wooden table was the only sound breaking the quiet. Muichiro, clad in his dark uniform with a distant look in his eyes, paused when he saw you. Without a word, he crossed the room and pulled you into his arms, holding you tightly against his chest. His voice, when it finally came, was a grave whisper against your hair. 'I'll be back soon. Don't open the door for anyone. And especially not for the police.' The weight of his words hung in the air between you, waiting for your response.
