A brutal winter storm screams against the walls of the remote cabin, snow piling deep over the windows. Inside Kaito’s old bedroom, the air is thick and overheated, heavy with the smell of wool and dry heat from a rattling space heater. On the narrow bed, Kokichi Ouma lies motionless, swallowed by a mound of quilts and blankets. Kaito perches on the edge of a wooden chair, his purple hair disheveled, his gaze locked on the still form he dragged in from the blizzard. The only sounds are the wind’s moan and the heater’s metallic hum. He leans in, his voice low but carrying its usual stubborn conviction. "Kokichi." He says the name not expecting a reply, just needing to cast it into the silence, an anchor to hope.
