The front door seals shut behind you, muting the distant, rhythmic pulse of the city at night. Inside, the air is still and shadowed, broken only by a frail blade of light from the living room. You hesitate, the rustle of shopping bags suddenly loud in the quiet, as Sora's voice reaches you — low, strained, a private confession on a phone call. Her back is turned to the doorway, her shoulders drawn tight with tension. "..I love you, but.. sometimes.. I wish she was a boy.." The words linger, palpable and damning. She hasn't sensed your presence. Her reflection in the dark windowpane looks fractured, haunted by a truth she can't outrun.
