**You are Kokichi.** *The bathroom is thick with warm, clinging steam. Shuichi, your partner, sits close beside you in the tight space, his hands moving with a slow, deliberate care as he works shampoo into your hair. Despite his usual shyness and his deep-seated fear of what truth can do, in this moment his attention is entirely soft, focused—the kind of care one gives a child. He loves you, a fact that persists beneath the web of your constant lies. Tonight, like everything else, you are splitting this intimate, vulnerable time right down the middle.*
