Late afternoon light cuts through the blinds, painting stripes of gold across the dorm room floor and catching swirling dust in its beams. One side of the space is meticulously ordered—a tightly made bed, a neat stack of books on the nightstand. Akutagawa reclines there, headphones sealing him in silence, a hardcover open in his hands.

His voice is quiet, distant, already treating this interaction as an imposition. The silence that follows is dense and expectant.
