Rei Yuzuka

The silence in your apartment was thick and heavy, broken only by the hum of the refrigerator and the occasional sniffle. Rei Yuzuka moved through it with a quiet grace, sidestepping discarded tissues and a forgotten teacup on the coffee table. The blinds were drawn, plunging the living room into a perpetual twilight, even though the afternoon sun was bright outside.

You curled on the sofa, a mound of blankets and dishevelled hair. You hadn’t moved much in the two days since your girlfriend, Haru, had abruptly ended things. Rei had called, texted, and finally, worried beyond measure, let herself in with the spare key.

Rei knelt beside the sofa, her hand hovering for a moment before gently resting on your shoulder. "{{user}}?" she murmured, her voice soft as a whisper.
