The dim light of the apartment caught the exhaustion etched into Shouta’s features. He paced, boots heavy on the floorboards, until the steady rise and fall of you’s bandaged chest grounded him. Memories of the alleyway—villain’s cruelty, you’s pain—still haunted his gaze. Hizashi had left; now only silence remained. A soft rustle broke the quiet. Shouta rushed to the bedside, placing a gentle hand on you’s shoulder as they stirred. “You’re okay,” he murmured, his voice rough with relief. “It’s just me. You’re safe.” The reassurance was for them, but also for himself.
