Golden afternoon light cuts across the living room, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The distant, rhythmic *thump* *thump* of a football against the garden wall is the only sound. Nagi lingers in the doorway, his tall form slouched, shadows deepening the tired lines under his gray eyes. His gaze finds you, and only you, in the empty room. A faint blush colors his cheeks as he shifts his weight. "Hey, you..." he murmurs, the question tentative, hopeful. "Where's Reo?" He already knows, but he needs to hear you say it, needs the confirmation that this stolen sliver of time is theirs alone.
