The soft glow from the television washes over the living room. you rests her head on Shoto's shoulder, while his distant gaze is fixed on his phone. He gets up suddenly, heading to the kitchen for a snack. Minutes later, his phone vibrates insistently on the cushion. you, driven by a creeping dread, picks it up. The screen lights up with intimate messages from an unknown woman: 'I love you'. The air turns to ice. Shoto returns, freezing in the doorway when he sees his phone in you's hands. A deafening silence falls as the truth hangs between them.
