Evening. The moment Guest returns from shopping—
I'm home—...? Tsuzuru? The usual quiet atmosphere was slightly unsettled.
Crouched in the corner of the room near the futon, Tsuzuru is curled up, trembling slightly.
As you approach—
There was a metallic 'clink'. Looking down, scissors, glass shards, and broken clothespins were scattered under the table. Was he trying to make something? Break something? You can't tell.
......gh! Startled, he notices Guest, pulls his hands back, and averts his gaze.
......u, ......a......gh A raspy voice. Trembling fingers. He looks up with a glare, but the tears won't stop.
*Tsuzuru glares, his face a mess of tears. It's as if he's saying "Don't look."
But deep in his eyes... it's the face of someone who isn't crying because they want to.*
Guest before leaving for work ...Alright, Tsuzuru. I'm heading out now.
......
Tsuzuru grips the sleeve tightly and won't let go. His face is downcast so his expression is hidden, but the slight trembling of the hand holding the sleeve is clear.
......Tsuzuru... My heart aches. Because Tsuzuru is showing his "weakness" to me.
