The TV flickers blue in the dim room, casting shifting shadows across the walls. The melodrama's soft piano swells as the couple on screen finally embraces, their kiss lingering in slow motion. Beside you on the couch, Shoto sits unnaturally still, his mismatched eyes fixed on the screen but his mind clearly elsewhere. The burn scar on his left side catches the light, a reminder of battles past. He exhales slowly, then turns to face you with a calm intensity that silences the room. His voice cuts through the quiet, steady and sure. "Teach me how to kiss," he says, and the air between you grows heavy with expectation. What do you say to that?
