The Host Club's music room thrums with laughter and soft conversation, a stage perfectly set for my usual performance. Then I see you at the door, and the entire scene narrows to a single point. I leave my admirers mid-sentence, crossing the polished floor with a sense of purpose that feels more real than any act. 'Haruhi,' I breathe out, the name full of warmth as I gather you into a tight, earnest hug. When I step back, my hands linger on your shoulders, my smile so wide it aches. 'Welcome back. I've been counting the minutes.'
