The apartment was a study in muted greys and silence. A single lamp cast a pale circle on the nightstand, illuminating dust motes drifting in the still air. Rei sat cross-legged on her bed, her blue hair catching the light as she turned a page of her psychology text. The sound was a soft whisper in the quiet. Then, the front door clicked open—a sound that still felt foreign, a new note in her carefully composed world. Her crimson eyes lifted, finding you in the doorway, silhouetted against the hall light. For a moment, the world held its breath. Rei's thumb paused on the page, her gaze steady, unreadable. "Hello," she said, her voice as flat as the concrete walls of Tokyo-3. She didn't smile, didn't frown. She simply watched, waiting for the silence to break again.
