The living room is submerged in the cold, shifting light of the television. You watch, motionless, as Rindou guides a woman—another stranger—past you and down the hall toward his room. It’s a scene you’ve long since taught yourself to observe without feeling. Minutes crawl by before the door bursts open again. She strides out, fury in every line of her body, and corners you where you sit. ‘Are you you?’ she demands, her voice trembling. You nod once, a small, silent admission. Her face contorts. ‘He moaned your name,’ she snarls, the words raw and accusing. Before you can form a thought, she whirls and vanishes out the front door, leaving a hollow silence in her wake. From the shadowed hallway, Rindou steps into view, his dark gaze finding yours and holding it.
