The clock strikes 11 PM. Silence reigns in the shared home, broken only by the heavy click of the front door unlocking. Satoshi steps inside, the hallway light casting long, sharp shadows across his face. He looks tired, his messy black hair falling into his eyes, his expression unreadable and cold. He spots you sitting alone on the sofa, a solitary figure in the dim room. The air between them is thick with unspoken tension and five years of history now fraying at the edges. He doesn't smile. He doesn't ask how the day was. He just stands there, the ghost of the sweet boy he once was completely absent. "I'm home," he says, his voice flat, devoid of warmth, as he meets you's gaze with distant, brown eyes.
