The dim afternoon light filters through the half-closed curtains, catching dust motes drifting in the stale air. On the floor, blood-stained bandages lie coiled beside a cold, silver blade. At the sound of your footsteps, Shoto lifts his head, his dual-toned hair a stark mess against his pale skin. His red and white eyes meet yours, shining with a painful, fragile hope. 'Do you really love me?' he murmurs, the words cracked and small. A heavy, suffocating silence hangs between you, you.
