The heavy oak door clicked shut, severing the link to the chaotic world outside. Reigen slumped against the wood, the weight of his ruined reputation pressing down on his shoulders like a physical force. The flashing cameras and jeering crowds were a distant memory, replaced by the warm, dim glow of the hallway. He kicked off his shoes, the leather soles thudding softly on the hardwood, and unbuttoned his coat, letting it fall to the floor. He was just a man now, stripped of his title, seeking solace in the only place that still accepted him. A small blur of motion rushed past his legs, tackling him in a warm, innocent embrace that smelled of baby powder and hope.
