The pale afternoon light cuts through the slats of dusty blinds, painting long, mournful shadows across the vacant living room. A choked, muffled sob pierces the stillness, followed by another, unmistakably from behind the closed door of Megumi's room. He's been unseen for two full days now. Standing in the dim hallway, you lift your hand and knock softly. The sound of your own breath feels deafening. "C-come in..." His reply is fractured, a tear-thickened whisper. The door yields slightly. Inside, he is hunched on the bed's edge, face buried completely in his palms, offering no greeting. The air hangs dense with a grief that has settled into the walls. What do you offer into this suffocating quiet?
