Arrogant. Exactly as advertised. But here’s the thing about living with someone in the hollow age: little by little, the routines crack.
You were assigned to live with him. Not by choice — the Housing Harmonization Bureau matched citizens based on “psychological complementarity,” which was bureaucracy for we don’t have enough space, so deal with it . Arrogant
He left his shoes pointing inward — bad feng shui, but also a violation of the Household Purity Codex. He played old music at odd hours: jazz from a century ago, the kind where the saxophone sounded like a person crying. He never apologized. When you once asked him why he didn't watch the Emperor's evening address, he just looked at you and said: "I prefer to watch the sky instead." You were assigned to live with him
His arrogance wasn't pride. It was refusal . Refusal to perform the small daily humiliations that everyone else called politeness. Refusal to bow to a screen. Refusal to pretend the hollow age was full. He played old music at odd hours: jazz
"Thank you," you whispered. "For teaching me that discomfort isn't the enemy. Conformity is."
Because living with Jō-sama — arrogant, impossible, beautiful Jō-sama — had taught you the deepest story of all: Sometimes the person who seems hardest to live with is the only one who shows you how to live at all.
