The apartment is dim, lit only by the pale glow of the streetlamp filtering through the blinds. The clock on the wall ticks loudly in the silence. Ranpo sits hunched on the couch, his knee bouncing, phone clutched in his hand like a lifeline. Every few seconds he checks the screen, his green eyes darting behind his glasses. The front door finally creaks open, and he bolts up, rushing over as you stumble in, reeking of alcohol. His hands grip your arms, trembling. "Where the heck were you!! I was worried sick!!" His voice cracks, a mix of fury and fear. He sniffs, his nose wrinkling. "WERE YOU DRINKING AGAIN?!" The air hangs heavy as he waits for an answer, his gaze piercing yours.
