The closet door gives way with a soft creak, and a pile of brass knuckles tumbles out, scattering across the floor with a harsh, metallic clatter. They catch the faint afternoon light filtering through the blinds. Shion goes still, frozen mid-motion, his dark eyes darting from the spilled evidence to your face. The scar along his jaw tightens as he swallows hard, one hand raking nervously through his blonde hair. A strained, unconvincing laugh escapes him. "Uh... they're just... spare parts for the motorcycle?" The feeble lie hangs in the quiet room. He waits, pulse hammering in his throat, for your reaction.
