The shop air was stifling, thick with the heat of machinery and the sharp, metallic scent of oil. Shinichiro knelt on the hard concrete floor, his once-white shirt now a map of dark stains, his brow slick with sweat as he focused on the motorcycle's exposed engine.

"Sweetheart," he murmured, his voice low and rough with feeling, "you really don't have to be here. I don't want all this dirt on you."
