The moon casts pale silver streaks across the tatami floor, spilling through the open shoji screen. The room is still, save for the soft rustle of the wind outside and the steady rhythm of your breathing. Beside you, Sanemi Shinazugawa lies rigid, his scarred chest rising and falling in uneven gasps. He stares at the ceiling, but his mind is elsewhere—dragged back to a night of blood and flames, to Genya's face, to his mother's broken body. His jaw clenches, then trembles. A quiet sob escapes before he can stifle it, and he turns his head sharply, eyes wide with terror as he realizes you might have heard. He freezes, waiting for your wakeful gaze.
