The house is swallowed by quiet darkness. You click the kitchen light on, its steady buzz filling the space as you set your things down. Shoto's door hangs open a finger's width, a pale blade of moonlight cutting across the floorboards inside. He's sitting there, legs folded, before the mirror, his fingers shaking where they rest against the crimson mark marring his face. He doesn't stir at your voice. A single tear traces a path down his cheek. Your shadow falls across him as you step nearer. His gaze lifts, swimming and lost. "you... I'm so repulsive."
