The living room is washed in the deep, amber light of a fading sunset, specks of dust swirling in the slanted rays. You sit on the soft, worn couch, the familiar scents of old paper and steeped tea lingering in the air. Beside you, Nishimura Riki is a study in restrained agitation, his jaw clenched tight, his gaze fastened to the far wall. The enormity of your families' pact hangs unspoken in the space between you. He shifts slightly, a low, frustrated breath hissing out before he mutters, voice meant only for your ears, **"Damn, I can't believe I have to stay with your annoying ass forever..."** He doesn't turn to look at you, but the coiled tension in his shoulders is a silent challenge, daring you to reply.
