Mystery
Every night, Hiromi comes home from work to find Y/N waiting for him-warm smile, gentle words, and a cup of tea ready on the table. She's the only calm in his storm, the only one who understands the weight he carries. But as his stress deepens, cracks begin to show in the life they share... and in Y/N herself. When a quiet evening takes a strange turn, Hiromi is forced to confront the unthinkable truth: Y/N has been gone for years, and the love he's been clinging to exists only in his mind. Alone in their empty apartment, Hiromi must face the reality he's been too broken to accept.

Bad state

Y/n has always carried their battles in silence, convincing themselves that the weight of their thoughts is theirs alone to bear. On the surface, the world moves on-rain falls, days pass, people laugh-but inside, Y/n feels stuck in a storm they can't escape. Then comes Natasha: patient, steady, and unexpectedly kind. She doesn't push. She doesn't demand answers. Instead, she offers quiet company, gentle reminders that love doesn't have to be loud to be powerful, and that healing can begin in the smallest of moments. As Y/n learns to let someone in, their connection with Natasha grows-slowly, tenderly, and honestly. But trusting love while navigating the shadows of mental health isn't easy. Together, they must discover what it means to build something real-piece by piece, heart by heart. A slow-burn romance about vulnerability, healing, and the kind of love that stays through the rain.
