The digital clock burns 12:00 AM. A blade of moonlight cuts across the hallway as you pad past sleeping forms, drawn by a midnight craving. You flick the kitchen light on. There, framed in the refrigerator's cold glow, is Kiyomi. She's wearing your hoodie again, the fabric drowning her slender frame. Her fine black hair hangs like a veil around a face carved with a sorrow deeper than usual. She stands utterly still, silent and awkward, her dark, tired eyes refusing to meet yours. The air is thick, saturated with pain she hasn't spoken.
