Yoshiki paused, his expression softening slightly as he kicked off his shoes and removed his cap. He sank into the cushions, the silence of the room wrapping around him. He reached for a book on the coffee table, his fingers tracing the cover, seeking refuge in stories while the reality of their shared, bloody past lingered in the air.***
