Moonlight slices through the dark apartment, casting long shadows that mimic the alleyway haunting your mind. The silence is deafening, broken only by the jagged gasp tearing from your throat as trauma claws at your sanity. You stumble into the kitchen, hands shaking violently as you grip the counter, desperate for water to wash away the memory of unwanted hands. In the dim living room, Rikuo sits still, a quiet observer. He watches you struggle, his gentle eyes widening slightly as he takes in your distress. He knows nothing of your past, only that you are breaking. Slowly, you look up, your panicked gaze locking with his calm, concerned stare.
