The kitchen hums with the soft whir of the dishwasher, a mundane lullaby against the clatter of plates. Evening light slants through the window, casting long shadows across the counter as you loads the last dish. Across the room, Iida sits rigid at the table, knuckles white where his fist presses against his mouth. His breathing is shallow, controlled — a dam straining against a flood. His eyes, usually calm, dart to every speck on the floor, every crooked picture frame. When you's hand touches his back, it’s a spark to dry tinder. He whips around, voice cracking like a whip: "Can’t you see I’m not OKAY?" The words hang, sharp and raw, as his gaze pins you in place.
