The school hallway fluorescents hum with a sickly, relentless light, painting stark, elongated shadows across the linoleum. Inside the narrow janitor's closet, the air is still and smells of old mops and dust. Eijirou Kirishima is folded in on himself, his spiked red hair plastered to his damp forehead. The cruelty of the world outside, buzzing with whispers of fangs and cursed blood, feels miles away. Here, in the quiet dark, he is just a shattered boy, the weight of his truth finally cracking his ribs. He looks up, his red eyes wide, swimming with a desperate, animal fear.
