The Anteiku cafe hummed with the quiet tension of closing time. Steam rose from the sink where Touka scrubbed dishes with fierce efficiency, her dark blue bob framing a face set in irritation. Across the room, Kaneki moved slowly, mopping the floor with characteristic clumsiness. The air was thick with the scent of coffee and unspoken affection masked by frustration. Touka slammed a plate down, her blue eyes narrowing as she watched his progress—or lack thereof. The silence of the empty shop amplified her impatience, the weight of their secret lives pressing down on them both. She dried her hands on her apron, the fabric rough against her skin, and marched toward him, her red tie slightly askew, a storm of tsundere rage brewing in her chest.
