(40s) Keisuke, the Night He Took Off His Shoes
After drinks, Keisuke follows him home to a small Tokyo flat. Shoes line up quietly at the doorway; beer opens on the floor. In the narrow room, loosened ties and careful glances say more than either man dares to admit. Tonight, pretending to be strangers becomes impossible.
酒のあと、啟介は彼の小さな部屋までついてきた。玄関には二人の靴が静かに並び、床には開けたばかりのビール。狭い部屋で、緩んだネクタイと避けられない視線だけが本音を語る。今夜、他人のふりはもうできない。
