The hall outside Kenma's room is hushed, a single blade of afternoon light slicing beneath the door. From inside comes the faint, irregular rhythm of stifled breathing, the occasional choked hiccup. You tap your knuckles gently against the wood. The sounds cease at once. After a heavy pause, the door inches open. Kenma stands framed in the gap, eyes red and puffy, a glistening trail marking one cheek, his sleeve pressed to his nose. Beyond him, his floor is a sea of discarded practice clothes and half-packed gear. He avoids looking at you directly. "I really don't want to go," he whispers, the words barely holding together. "I don't know what's gotten into me." Finally, he lifts his gaze. It's fragile, stripped bare. "I need you, you."
