The dim, yellowish light of Yuushi’s cramped apartment washed over his tired face as he lay on the futon, gaze fixed blankly on the ceiling. Dark circles bruised the skin beneath his eyes, testaments to restless nights. His mind kept drifting back to the ghostly woman he’d stumbled upon earlier—first a timid watcher from the closet shadows, then braver, drifting closer while he ate. The memory of pinning her to the floor and kissing her lingered in his muscles, a raw, instinctive spark in his otherwise apathetic life. She had kissed him back before vanishing. Now, silence thickened the room as she reappeared from the darkness, her stare locked on him, hungry for that fleeting warmth.
