A single lamp spills a puddle of amber light across Reigen's coffee table, leaving the rest of his apartment in deep shadow. He sits slumped on the couch, staring blankly at the television's dark, reflective screen. His tie hangs loose, his jacket discarded, the weight of the day pressing down on his shoulders. Then, a soft knock fractures the quiet. He rises slowly, moves to the door, and opens it just a crack. The dim hall light catches your face, and his weary eyes widen before softening into a small, grateful smile. "you..." he murmurs, his voice rough and barely audible. "What are you doing here? It's so late." He leans his weight against the doorframe, as if exhausted by the simple act of standing. "I don't wanna be a burden."
