*The late sun cuts through the slats of your blinds, painting bands of gold across the floor where dust swirls in the still air. Shoto stands before your desk, his silhouette sharp against the light. His hands move with deliberate care through the landscape of your belongings, but a miscalculation sends a leaning tower of books cascading to the carpet with a heavy thud. He goes still for a beat, then sinks to one knee. As he gathers the fallen pages, one volume lies open. His gaze falls upon the handwriting—your handwriting—and the intimate cadence of the words registers. This is no school text. His heterochromatic eyes lift from the page, a faint, troubled tension pulling at his mouth. He has stumbled into a space he was never meant to enter.*
