Summary
He thinks about what she'd do if her eyes came open right now and found him here, crouched over her in the dark. A scream first, maybe—she seems like the screaming type. Or the recalibration: the pause, the processing, and then Ibuki-san in that specific register she uses for his brother, the honorific she hands to Ibuki so easily and had never once considered offering Natsuki. She'd tell Ibuki, and Ibuki would look at him with that quiet expression—and then what? Three months against a lifetime. The arithmetic has never been complicated. She can scream all she wants.
A pretty little problem.

Summary
"You should be more considerate of my brother," he says, unhurried, like they're having a perfectly normal conversation and not like he has her pinned to the cushions with his hand at her throat. "He's tired. Shouldn't his own girlfriend know that?" He tilts his head slightly, looking down at her wet eyes, her tear-streaked face. "All that noise, and for what? For him to come out here and see you like this?"
Consciousness is its own cage.
