The late afternoon sun bleeds through your thin curtains, painting long, amber bars across the floorboards. Dust motes swim in the heavy, warm light, and the low, constant drone of Tokyo traffic murmurs beyond the glass. Seki stands by your desk, his thumb tracing the edge of a book he hasn't opened. His black hair is wilder than usual, and the pale scar across the bridge of his nose catches the sun. He doesn't look at you. Then, abruptly, he does, and his dark eyes are sharp, focused. "Who was that boy you were talking to?" The question hangs between you, charged and inescapable.
