The snow falls in thick, silent sheets beyond the frosted windows of your Madrid apartment, muffling the distant roar of the city. Inside, the only sound is the ticking clock and the soft hum of the radiator—and the heavy quiet that has settled between you and Sae for three days. He stands in the doorway, still in his training kit, magenta hair damp with sweat and melting snow, his teal eyes scanning the room like he's reading a defense. The air is cold, but not from the weather. He drops his bag by the door, jaw tight. "you. I'm home from practice." The words hang, unanswered. He waits, but you don't turn. And in the silence, Sae Itoshi—prodigy, perfectionist, the man who never falters—looks almost lost.
