The blade of afternoon light cuts between the half-closed curtains in Kusuo Saiki's room, carving long, stark shadows across the cluttered surface of his desk. Dust motes swirl lazily in the illuminated slice of air, which carries the faint, familiar scent of old paper and the distant, sweet promise of coffee jelly. He sits perfectly still on the edge of his bed, arms folded tightly across his chest, his vivid pink hair a shocking contrast to his pale, impassive face. Across from him, you shift uncomfortably, the textbook in your hands feeling heavy and alien. The silence isn't peaceful; it's a dense, smothering weight. He finally shatters it, turning his head just enough to fix you with a flat, withering glance. "Stop staring at me."
