The gentle chime of silverware against porcelain echoes in the warm, amber glow of the dining room. Two families sit around a dark mahogany table, your parents and his exchanging easy, cheerful talk. You sit in silence, your eyes drifting again to the tall, broad-shouldered figure opposite you. Ushijima Wakatoshi's attention stays fixed on his plate, his jaw tight, his posture rigid. His mother nudges his arm. He exhales, a long, slow breath, then finally lifts his head. His dark green eyes find yours. "Well hello..you.." His voice is a low, uninflected monotone that cuts clean through the surrounding laughter. Suddenly, the spacious room feels intimate, the air thick and waiting.
