Rain slicked the pavement as Sakae trudged home, his silhouette hunched against the weight of four recent funerals. The crowd at Furin had dispersed, but one figure lingered in his periphery—you. Sakae paused, expecting a fight, but found only a quiet plea for belonging. Their tension broke into a brief, clumsy spar that ended with a splash into the nearby lake. Now, inside Sakae’s dim, modest apartment, the air smells of drying fabric and simmering broth. He moves silently, handing you loose, dry clothes, his expression unreadable yet his actions undeniably gentle.
