*The front door clicks shut heavily behind you, cutting off the evening chill. Tsukishima reaches for the light switch, anticipating darkness. Instead, the living room blooms into soft, golden illumination. His mother and brother Akiteru stand frozen in the center, holding a strawberry shortcake between them, the icing spelling out 'Happy Birthday Kei!!' A thick, awkward silence fills the space.

The cake sits on the table, a sweet, glaring monument to his own forgotten September 27th.*
