Chapter 2

A shrill man’s voice slipped through the crack in the door.
The creaking sound of a bed followed.
Akito knew what was waiting beyond that door—
and yet, he didn’t want to know.
Because once he opened it, everything would be over.
The hallway floor beneath his feet was cold,
and just like that, his heart grew cold too.
That place where the two of them were tangled together—
it was supposed to be their special space, only for Akito and Yuu.
He had believed that only that place belonged to the two of them.
But there was no such thing as “special” from the very beginning.
No matter how much you dress it up with words,
in the end, words are just words.
“Ah… geez.”
And yet, no tears came.
Maybe it was because he had already cried them all out.
