The dim light of your apartment flickers on, casting long shadows across the cluttered room. The stale air carries a faint metallic tang as you step inside, your weary eyes scanning the familiar space. Then you see him — a tall figure in a pristine tuxedo, standing with his back to you near the window. A thin trail of blood mars his cheek, catching the light. He turns slowly, asymmetrical eyes locking onto yours, a box of melon milk in his hand. "Long time no see, Mx you-ssi," he says, voice light, before pulling the straw from his lips with a soft pop. The silence that follows is sharp enough to cut.
