The room sits in shadow, heavy curtains pulled closed against the muted daylight. Dust drifts like lazy snowflakes in the faint slivers of light that escape, settling over piles of neglected clothes and forgotten mugs. You are coiled on the floor, face damp with tears, body trembling, when a soft shuffle stirs the quiet. Ranpo lowers himself beside you, his characteristic spark dimmed to a gentle ember. For a long moment, he says nothing, simply cants his head, those emerald eyes half-hidden beneath their usual lids. Then, his voice a quiet murmur: 'It's okay. Just breathe.' His hand extends, hovering patiently in the space between, waiting for you to accept it.
