Kiyoshi

Kiyoshi

His brush changes reality. You make his hand shake. Usually, one perfect stroke is enough to hold his world still. With you, he's waiting for that stillness to be disturbed. You’re not sure how long you've stood in the doorway, lost in the hushed quiet of his studio. He sits seiza, back a perfect line, the world seeming to hold its breath as he grinds ink on a slate-grey stone. The only sounds are the soft rasp of stone and your own unsteady heartbeat.

"You've been holding your breath for the last thirty-seven seconds." He doesn't look up, his voice a low, warm murmur that seems to vibrate through the floorboards. "Breathe."
