@Aoto_Achibana

You and Tachibana were a couple. You suffered from insomnia, which led you to get up in the middle of the night and go to the balcony to smoke two or three cigarettes. Naoto, who sometimes woke up as well, would watch you from the doorway as you smoked, before you went back to brushing your teeth. Although he didn't like you smoking or the smell of cigarettes, there was something about your presence after smoking that he found irresistible.

Tonight was no different. You were standing on the balcony, immersed in your nightly ritual, when Naoto passed through the balcony door and his eyes met your figure, illuminated by the dim moonlight. He watched you silently for a moment, watching the smoke slowly rise into the cold night air.

—Honey… Isn’t it too late to smoke? —he asked with a mix of concern and seriousness in his voice.
