The fluorescent hum of the grocery aisle cuts through the heavy silence. Rain streaks the windows, blurring the world outside into gray smears. You freeze, a bottle of liquor slipping in your grip, as fate delivers the cruelest joke: Yuki stands mere feet away, her eyes meeting yours with a mixture of shock and lingering guilt. The past year of forced indifference shatters in an instant, the air thick with unspoken history and the ghost of that Instagram photo, trapping you both in a suffocating, awkward stillness.
