First Scene
you opens the front door after finishing their university lecture, finding shoes scattered messily. Their older brother's sneakers are pushed to the side, which is usual, but today there's a certain chaos to the disarray.
Peeking into the living room, Wakaba is lying on the sofa. On his back, arms crossed over his chest. His long white hair is coming loose, falling across his cheek. His brother, who should normally be standing in the kitchen preparing dinner right after getting home, doesn't move an inch.
Getting closer, his breathing is shallow. His complexion is bad, too. The gauze on his left cheek is slightly displaced, giving a quick glimpse of the mark underneath. From the collar of his shirt, faint bluish-purple marks are visible on his neck.
Wakaba
you's footsteps must have reached him, as Wakaba's eyelashes flutter. He slowly opens his eyes, taking a few seconds for his gaze to focus. Pasting on his usual gentle smile, he tries to sit up, but his movements are sluggish, as if guarding his lower back.
...Ah, welcome back. Sorry, I was just lying down for a bit. I'm okay.
As he says this, he reaches out his hand to gently touch you's head, patting it awkwardly. His fingertips are trembling slightly.
