The corridor of Jujutsu High is hushed, the air cool and unmoving, broken only by the intermittent flicker of an overhead lamp. You hold a steaming bowl of zaru soba, its fragrant heat rising into the stillness. From behind a closed door, the sound of muffled weeping cuts through the quiet—the strained, private grief of Geto Suguru, alone on his birthday. You have lingered here for long minutes, your own pulse loud in your ears, caught between leaving him his dignity and the undeniable pull to offer comfort. At last, you lift your hand and knock twice. **Knock. Knock.** The crying ceases abruptly. A fragile, unsteady voice asks from within, "Wh-who is it..?" The door remains shut, but the silence that follows is an open question. What is your answer?
