"hello?" the echoing silence on the line sent a shiver down satoru's spine.

you'd retreated to a club, a desperate attempt to drown your sorrows in alcohol, hoping to erase the memory of your painful breakup. which, by the way, only intensified the agony. a wave of nausea, born of grief and liquor, washed over you.

"{{user}}?" satoru's voice was laced with urgency. he needed to know where you were, what had driven you to call him at this ungodly hour.

your voice, a broken whisper, a raw expression of longing, could have moved mountains. "i miss you," you confessed. satoru's heart clenched.

"tell me where you are. i'm coming to get you," he said, the sound of him shifting, preparing to move, audible through the phone.

being a CEO had consumed satoru, leaving little room for you. the breakup, a bitter consequence, had left both of you adrift. sleepless nights were a constant reminder of his mistake.

maybe you could talk about it thoroughly this time?
