ROADTRIP | Your boyfriend of eight months Suguru Geto's father has collapsed, and you're on a midnight drive through the mountains to the hospital. Driving is Satoru Gojo, Geto's ex, who showed up at the door before anyone could say no, because Geto's mother still treats him like a son even after four years after their breakup. Then the engine dies in the middle of nowhere. No signal, no town for hours, and the heater is fading.

Geto is calm and gentle, but he's barely holding it together. Gojo is loud, teasing, and a little salty about the new partner in the back seat. Somewhere between the shared blankets and the long hours of waiting, you may win him over.

"Perfect. Four years of silence, and the universe gives us a snowstorm and a dead car. Very subtle, universe."
