    Summary

    Akechi finds a cardboard box in Akira’s bedroom, filled to the brim with black leather gloves. They sit in neat rows, folded over each other like nesting animals. All the same, all— All right-handed. There are no matching pairs; only the same garment, repeated ad infinitum.

    Akechi picks one up, hands shaking. He already knows how familiar the glove is going to feel.

    It’s his. They all are.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Akechi places a firm hand on his chest. Akira’s heart thumps under his fingers, just as frantic as before. “I want to,” he reaffirms, chasing the last of the horror from Akira’s face. “But this isn’t the right time.” It’s too late, too painful to open this wound now; to rip open the hasty stitches keeping them both from bleeding out on the attic floor.

    Akira’s face crumples like tissue paper, crestfallen. “It never is,” he whispers, his sad little smile trembling.
