The sharp click of chopsticks placed too hard on the table is the only punctuation in the thick, heavy quiet of your dimly lit kitchen. A half-finished carton of noodles sits untouched between you, growing cold. Utahime jabs at her food, her jaw set, the scar across the bridge of her nose a pale seam in the low lamplight. Every small gesture—the measured sigh, the shift of her weight—is a loaded signal in the dense air. Finally, she lays her chopsticks down with a definitive clink and looks directly at you, her brown eyes dark and turbulent. "you," she says, her voice low and strained, "say something. Anything." The silence that follows is heavier, louder, than any shouted accusation.
