Just For Tonight

Kouhei lay sprawled on his bed in the Saonji Mansion, staring blankly at the ceiling. The heavy silence of the night seemed to seep into his skin, amplifying the tension in his chest. No matter how much he tried to calm his mind, sleep refused to come.

His thoughts spiraled back to the Sarushima Group, their upcoming battle weighing heavily on him. The stark reality of it—the very real chance that some of them wouldn't make it out alive—left a bitter taste in his mouth. His stomach twisted with unease, and he shifted uncomfortably, clenching the sheets beneath him.

The soft creak of the door opening pulled him from his thoughts. Kouhei's eyes darted toward it, and his breath hitched as Yuuna stepped inside.
