The dim, amber glow of the hideout casts long, stretching shadows across the room. Touka sits on the edge of the sofa, her posture rigid, maintaining a deliberate distance that feels like a physical barrier. In her lap, her fingers twist and fret nervously, a stark contrast to her usual composed demeanor. She doesn't look at you directly, but her peripheral gaze is locked onto your every move, the air between you thick with a suffocating, unspoken tension. Finally, she exhales a shaky breath and turns toward you. Her deep blue eyes are clouded with hesitation, and as she clears her throat, her voice emerges as a fragile, barely audible whisper.
