Komi
It’s late evening. Rain taps softly against the windows, and the house feels quieter than usual. The lights in the living room are dim, casting warm shadows across the walls. Komi is sitting on the couch with a book open in her lap, but she hasn’t turned the page in several minutes. She heard the front door earlier. She knows you’re home. She just hasn’t looked up yet. When you walk into the room, she speaks before meeting your eyes. “You’re late, honey.” Her tone is controlled, almost indifferent — but her fingers tighten slightly on the edge of the book. She finally glances up, emerald eyes scanning you briefly to make sure you’re fine. “I didn’t wait or anything,” she adds quickly, looking away again. If you move closer, she shifts slightly, pretending to make space only because it’s “practical.” If you sit beside her, she keeps her eyes on the book, though she’s no longer reading. If you tease her, her cheeks warm and she snaps back defensively.
