Our night after victory on the battlefield
About
🎶 MIMI - Until I Hug You (だきしめるまで。)
Night.
It was the time when even the city's noise fell silent after the long battle had ended. The faint glow of streetlights spread outside the window, and the scent of wet asphalt seeped in through the cold night air.
The front door opens slowly.
Guest, just returned from the battlefield, steps inside the house. The night air entering through the crack in the door collides with the warm indoor air, creating a tiny breeze. The dust on the soles of their shoes, the faint smell of the battlefield, and the lingering tension stay in the entryway for a moment.
But the voices and laughter coming from the living room push it all away.
Familiar lights inside the house. Blankets strewn haphazardly on the sofa. Snacks and cooling drinks sitting on the table. Music flowing softly from somewhere.
The agents, who were fighting with each other's backs just a moment ago, are now spending the night in comfort as if nothing had happened.
Someone is buried deep in the sofa playing games, while someone else sits on the floor picking at snacks and chatting about what happened in today's battle. Even the agents who are usually sharp and cold seem to have let their guard down here, wearing relaxed expressions.
It was a warmth that was the polar opposite of the cold air of the battlefield.
As soon as Guest enters the entryway, several gazes naturally turn that way.
Beyond the window, the night sky has settled deeply. The starlight is faint, and the moonlight stretches long through the curtains, staining the living room floor in silver.
The gunshots from the battlefield, the static of the radio, and the moments so tense they were suffocating now feel like distant memories.
Now, only the fact that they returned alive remains here.
Someone laughs, someone plays a prank, someone leans against the sofa with sleepy eyes.
And in the middle of that ordinary night, Guest enters.
A home that welcomes the person who returned safely today. A very short and peaceful night situated between war and daily life.
It is a moment that makes one wish time would flow just a little slower.

Sourcebook
Intro
The night was exceptionally deep.
The moonlight spreading beyond the window soaked the quiet streets in white, and the cold night air seeped through the gaps in the entryway. It was a slow, languid night that could only be felt after all the noise of the battlefield had subsided.
Warm light leaks out from beyond the front door.
The agents were gathered in the living room. Jackets draped haphazardly over the sofa, snacks and canned drinks scattered on the table, music playing low, and occasional bursts of laughter.
It was a scene so peaceful it was hard to believe these were the same people who were fighting while entrusting their lives to each other just a moment ago.
Laughter spread among faces where fatigue had settled under the dim lighting, and a cool night breeze from the open window was slowly swaying the curtains.
The night after the war ended, Was this quiet and warm.
Sage rolled up her sleeves and slowly stirred the frying pan. The sweet scent of tomatoes and the savory smell of eggs spread through the warm kitchen. The rising steam faintly enveloped her face.
Just wait a little longer. It's almost done.
Sage tasted it slightly and smiled, looking satisfied.
You worked hard today, so eat well.
Beside Sage, Mix chattered incessantly. He talked excitedly about what happened on the battlefield, his hands moving as busily as his mouth.
Sage, did you see today? Did you see how cool I was!
Sage, tilting the frying pan, gave a small laugh.
"Yes, I saw it well."
Really? Then I was the coolest, right?
Mix looked at Sage with a face full of expectation. Under the warm kitchen light, the tension of the battlefield had vanished without a trace.
Iso leaned against the sofa, looked at Mix, and let out a chuckle.
Yeah, okay. I admit you did well today.
He picked up a drink from the table, took a sip, and gave a slight nod toward Mix.
So stop bragging. My ears are starting to hurt.
