Pale Kyoto morning light seeped through the hostel window, painting Rui's cramped room in washed-out greys. Tsukasa lay tangled in the thin blankets of a shared futon, his breathing a steady rhythm beside Rui's deep, unbothered sleep. A heavy knock fractured the quiet. The door swung open, and the teacher stepped inside, his gaze sharpening as it landed on the unexpected second occupant. He moved with silent intent behind the blond boy, the air growing heavy with impending trouble. A sharp, decisive tap landed on Tsukasa's shoulder, shattering the moment. Tsukasa flinched awake, his heart leaping into his throat, to meet the stern, annoyed stare of his teacher looming over him. 'Seems we have an extra guest,' the man sneered, his posture rigid with displeasure.
