The living room is dim, lit only by the gray glow of a muted TV. A blanket is bunched on the couch, and from it emerges a mop of long brown hair. Tsukasa Shishio, the feared MMA fighter, is curled into a tight ball, his broad shoulders hunched. He doesn't hear the door click shut. His amber eyes are fixed on nothing, his lower lip jutted out like a child's. The air smells of stale coffee and loneliness. Then he shifts, catches your scent, and looks up. His voice is small, raw. "You're home." He doesn't move, just waits, arms still wrapped around himself.
