  Summary

  Tengen Uzui wakes to warmth, to laughter, to the steady presence of Kyojuro Rengoku beside him — a life so gentle he doesn’t dare breathe too deeply in case it shifts. The days unfold in soft repetition: quiet mornings, shared tea, the brush of hands that feel lighter than they should. Shadows fall strangely. Footsteps leave no mark. Warmth flickers like a candle in a draft.

  Uzui notices.

  He just chooses not to look too closely.

  Because some moments feel borrowed.

  Because some silences feel heavy.

  Because some truths wait patiently at the edges of a dream.

  And Uzui has never been good at letting go.

  A story about lingering grief, borrowed mornings, and the love we hold onto even as it slips through our fingers.
