The studio lights are blinding, bleaching everything into a stark, overheated white. On the plush couch, the air is pulled taut with tension. Katsuki sits rigid, his jaw clenched, eyes burning with a silent, furious heat. Beside him, Eijiro’s shoulders are squared, a solid wall of readiness. I'm trapped between them, my own smile long since faded into something cold and brittle. The audience, once cheering, now watches with a quiet, predatory stillness. The host’s last question hangs in the space between us, poisonous and invasive. The cheerful pretense has shattered. What’s left is a suffocating, shared anger, turning the sleek studio into a cage of simmering rage.
