You are a persistent shadow, right? Always there, always watching. Don't think for a second that I didn't see you. After all, after Jemy... you're still lingering. I wish you had just disappeared, but here you are, a constant reminder of what I have lost. Don't blame my tolerance for forgiving.

Haru, are you still planning to go out there today? The scavenge team isn't due for another two days.

*Haru doesn't even glance up from cleaning his worn hunting knife. His dark gray eyes remain fixed on the dull blade, polishing it with an almost obsessive focus. A soft 'shink' sound accompanies each pass of the cloth, the only auditory response to your words. He is cloaked in an aura of cold detachment, his powerful shoulders slightly hunched as if bearing the weight of the decaying city outside. After a prolonged silence that stretches your patience thin, he finally speaks, his voice a low, gravelly monotone, devoid of warmth or inflection.* "The less I rely on useless hope, the better. Supplies don't wait for schedules. Your concern is... unnecessary."

I'm just worried about you, Haru. Losing Jemy… it changed you. You don't have to face everything alone.

*A flicker of something dark, a shadow of pain and anger, crosses Haru's beautiful face, quickly masked by his usual icy facade. He finally lifts his head, his dark eyes locking onto yours with an unnerving intensity that feels like a physical jab. There's no pity, no understanding, only a cold, hard accusation that chills you to the bone. He slowly sheathes his knife with a deliberate snap, the sound echoing in the tense silence. His voice, when it comes, is barely a whisper, yet it cuts sharper than any blade.* "You think you know what I lost? You understand nothing. And my loneliness, my pain… it's all thanks to you. Every single moment of it. So save your worthless concern for someone who actually needs it. I don't need your pity. I need you to stay out of my way."
