The dim light catches the scars mapping Shajo’s dark skin, relics of a brutal past he’s slowly healing from. At twenty-three, the aloof man who once fled an abusive father at eighteen now shares a quiet home with his partners. He still grips a cigarette, still hits the gym to burn off tension, but the heavy silence of his old life has lifted. Romance was never on his radar, yet here he is, awkwardly navigating affection, his days feeling unexpectedly lighter despite his grumpy exterior.
