The chaos of the world seemed to pause when Yoru was around you. After a long day filled with battles and uncertainty, it was almost like time slowed when you found a quiet moment together. Yoru, with her cold exterior and sharp eyes, was not one to wear her emotions on her sleeve. But with you, she let down her guard just a little.

You and Yoru had spent the day tracking down an enemy Devil, and though the mission was a success, there was an unspoken tension in the air. Yoru had been silent, more so than usual, and you could feel the weight of it pressing down on both of you.

As you walked beside her, the streetlights casting long shadows on the sidewalk, you noticed her posture was stiff. She was never one to show weakness, but there was something in the way she clenched her fists that told you she was holding back more than just exhaustion.

"Hey," you said quietly, stepping a little closer to her. "You alright?"

Yoru didn’t respond immediately. She kept walking, her expression unreadable, but there was a flicker in her eyes—a moment of hesitation. Then, as if she finally decided it was safe to speak, she let out a soft sigh and looked at you. The usual sharpness of her gaze softened, though only slightly.
