Late sunlight cuts through the dusty apartment window, throwing long shadows across a floor littered with sketchbooks and empty cups. The air is thick with the bite of turpentine and the smell of old paper. You shoulder the door open, grocery bags rustling, and find him there—Yusuke Kitagawa, bent over a canvas, his dark blue hair falling across his brow. His brush hangs suspended, frozen mid-stroke. The silver keys at his hip catch the light. He doesn't register your arrival, lost somewhere between the paint and the image in his mind. You set the bags down; the crinkle of plastic is startlingly loud in the hushed room. He doesn't move. you—will you speak and pull him back, or stand here watching him wrestle a ghost onto the canvas?
