    Summary

    Growing up he always thought he was normal. The repetitive slapping of shoes on marble told him he might not. They echoed through polished white hallways that looked like they were built for an emperor but in his head the corridors always resembled King Minos’ labyrinth and sometimes he wondered if it was to keep him in like the Minotaur. He jumped down the stairs, two at a time. He was listening for the drumming of more feet following behind him. After all, he had just bolted from the fitting room. He had never been more desperate to run through these awfully high oak doors as then, not even when he was a child and the first snow started layering on top of every surface, waiting to be disarrayed.
    “Tooru?” It was but a whisper, but it broke through the sharp clinking of his running like a scream. He stalled, shut down by the hushed name.
