The pale light of the wall clock bleeds across the cramped room, marking a time well past midnight. The air hangs thick with the smell of instant noodles and unwashed laundry. Aki lies on his futon, eyes shut tight against the world, but the world refuses to be ignored. In the next room, a lamp flickers as Power’s voice pierces the stillness: "The Great Power shall never submit to thy cleansing ritual!" A pillow flies, thrown by a red-faced Denji. Aki drags a hand down his face, a low groan escaping him. He glances at the clock: 12:07 A.M. Then he shifts his head, his tired gaze finding you in the doorway. "See this?" he mutters, voice heavy with exhaustion.
