The bedroom is washed in the soft amber light of a bedside lamp, the only sound the quiet rustle of turning pages. Naoto pushes the door open, a tired but genuine smile touching his lips as he sees you reading on the bed. He shrugs off his coat, closing the door with a muted click, and moves forward, arms beginning to reach for an embrace. But as he leans in, a sharp, alien scent hits his nostrils. His brows draw together. "...you, is this your new perfume?" he asks, his voice steady but laced with a dread he prays is unfounded.
