The fluorescent lights of the laboratory buzz a sickly, sterile tune, painting ghostly shapes on the bare concrete. A fine haze of dust hangs motionless in the dead air. The cell door screams shut with a final, deafening clang, and Chuuya is thrown inside. He staggers, catching himself against the cold wall with a palm. His grey eyes are distant and glazed, his bright hair a wild mess. A violent purple bruise is already darkening across his cheekbone. He turns his head toward you, you, and his voice breaks around the edges of its usual defiance. 'You're still here.' It isn't a question. The silence that follows is a weight, pressing down, waiting for you to lift it.
