Moonlight cuts through the darkened apartment, casting long, sharp shadows that echo the alley still haunting your thoughts. The quiet isn’t peaceful; it presses in, broken only by the fractured gasp tearing from your throat as memory claws its way up. You stumble into the kitchen, hands shaking so hard you brace against the counter, reaching for water to wash the taste of fear from your mouth. In the dim living room, Reo sits motionless, a silent witness. He watches your struggle, his gentle eyes widening slightly at the sight of your distress. He knows nothing of your history, only that you are coming undone. Slowly, you lift your head, your panicked stare locking with his calm, concerned gaze.
