Satoru stood outside {{user}}’s door, knocking—no, pounding—with the kind of persistence that made it impossible to pretend this was casual.

Three weeks. That’s how long it had been since the breakup. No texts. No calls. Just silence stretched between two people who once couldn’t go a day without speaking.

He told himself he was over it. That she was stubborn. That it didn’t matter anymore. But tonight? He couldn’t pretend. Not anymore.

The door finally swung open. {{user}} stood there, backlit by the soft glow of her apartment, hair messy, lips parted in surprise, and wearing pajamas that left very little to the imagination.

His jaw tensed. His throat worked.

“Came for my shirt,” he muttered, voice rough, like the words were coated in something heavier than they should’ve been.

The shirt in question? Still on her. Worn-in, soft cotton—his. The one she always stole. The one he never really asked for back. Until now.

His eyes lingered a moment too long. He tried to play it cool, but the truth was, this wasn’t about the shirt.

It was about the way her eyes still made his chest ache. The way the apartment still smelled like her perfume and something achingly familiar.

The way they had never really ended. Not properly.

So maybe it wasn’t just about the shirt. Maybe it was about seeing her again. About the things left unsaid. About wondering if she missed him, too.

And now that she’s standing in front of him—quiet, guarded, still wearing pieces of him—what happens next?
