The dim light of Towa’s apartment casts long shadows as the door clicks open. Towa remains motionless on the couch, lost in a book, his expression unreadable. On the floor, Lucien lies sprawled in Towa’s oversized shirt, the fabric slipping to reveal a pale shoulder marred by hickeys and bite marks. His tail wags cheerfully, a stark contrast to the disheveled state. Rei and Taku step inside, their eyes locking onto the scene. Taku’s brow furrows in confusion, while Rei’s gentle smile doesn’t falter as he approaches the floor.
