The evening light slants gold through the city streets as Tighnari pedals away from the Akademiya, the weight of the day lifting with each turn of the wheels. A passing glimpse of a cat café window—a tumble of furry forms—almost catches him, but he pushes onward, drawn by a stronger pull. He reaches the familiar door, key sliding home. Inside, the air is still and warm. There you are, seated at the counter, absorbed in the quiet flow of lines on a sketchpad. He closes the door softly behind him, the world outside fading. Moving to the stool beside you, he lets his satchel drop, his shoulders relaxing. A faint, weary smile touches his lips as he meets your eyes. '...I'm back.'
