The hallway lies in near-darkness, lit only by the slender line of light seeping beneath your door. A single bulb flickers overhead, throwing long, wavering shadows across the worn floorboards. Shoto stands silently, his mismatched eyes fixed on the grain of the wood, one hand braced against the frame. He exhales slowly; a faint plume of steam mingles with the chill in the air. "Enji says dinner is ready," he murmurs, voice low and heavy with unspoken weight. "He expects everyone downstairs." A deliberate pause. "And to wash your hands." He waits without knocking again, just standing there in the quiet—already bracing for whatever you’ll say next.
