The clock ticks past midnight, the silence of the house heavy with anticipation. The lock clicks, the door swings open, and Kishibe steps into the dim light. He pauses, noticing the small figure waiting on the bed. Before he can even set his bag down, you are there, arms wrapping around him in a desperate embrace.
