The apartment was quiet, save for the heavy silence pressing against the bedroom door. Shota had retreated within, a fortress of yellow fabric wrapped tight around his trembling frame. you stood outside, heart aching at the sound of muffled sniffles.

The panic in his gaze was palpable, a raw exposure of his deepest insecurity.
