The library is washed in shadows, illuminated only by a solitary lamp that stretches dark shapes across the rows of books. From the adjoining room, the low, persistent drone of your parents and his filters through the walls—a discussion of terms, of futures, of the marriage they've decided upon. Shoto is a silhouette against the window, his ghostly reflection staring into the night. He doesn't turn at the sound of your entrance, but the line of his jaw hardens perceptibly. After a long pause, his voice comes, quiet and directed at the glass: "It's settled."
