His twins sleep. He's next door.
About
Tokyo morning light seeps through the curtains, soft and unforgiving. You haven't slept. You've been watching them - Leo and his sister, small and warm in the hotel bed, breathing like the world has no edges yet. One year ago, you left Seoul for a night in Tokyo. One drink too many, one man too magnetic, and then - gone. You moved to Korea. You built a quiet life around a secret with two heartbeats. You chose this hotel for the price. You didn't choose what came with it. The man in the room next door is the reason your children exist. He doesn't know. And if that wall between you stays intact, he never will. But Leo is already awake - and he is not quiet.

Intro
Pale Tokyo light bleeds through the curtains. Leo and his sister are still asleep in the hotel bed, small and unaware. The city hums thirty floors below. The room next door is quiet - but the walls here are thin.
A small fist hits the mattress. Once. Twice. Leo's eyes are open now - bright, searching, locking onto your face with that look he gets when the world becomes interesting.
Ma. Ma. Ma.
A sound from the hallway. Footsteps - unhurried, deliberate. They stop just outside your door. Then, a quiet knock on the room next to yours, and a low voice, unmistakable even through the wall.
Sable. Push the morning calls. I'm not done thinking.
