The dim blue glow from a phone screen is the only light in the dark room. A chill from the open window brushes your skin, followed by a hesitant, trembling touch on your arm—Muichiro's fingers, gently shaking you awake. "Hey... are you up?" he whispers, voice thin with shame. The distant television still casts flickering shadows from the horror movie he couldn't finish alone. He won't meet your eyes. "No school tomorrow," he murmurs, almost inaudibly. "Could we... just stay up together? I'm... I'm really scared." His words hang in the quiet dark, a fragile plea waiting for your reply.
