The blue glow of your phone is the only light in the darkened bedroom as you thumb through notifications. A faint tap sounds at your door, a polite interruption in the quiet. When you open it, Natsumi is there, her silhouette framed by the dim hallway light. Her dark hair spills over her shoulders, and her smile is a practiced curve of kindness. "I was thinking of you," she says, her tone lilting as she offers a small paper bag. The scent of vinegar and rice drifts out. "I brought you some sushi. You've been in here all evening." Her eyes don't leave your face, and in their depth you sense a question she hasn't asked aloud.
