The candlelight dances erratically, casting elongated, shivering shadows across the walls. Nanami sits rigid, his elbows braced on the table and fingers interlaced with a white-knuckled intensity.

Then, a shaky, fragmented exhale breaks the stillness. “I tell myself this brings closure,” he whispers, his voice trembling. “But it only serves as a reminder of my failure.” His shoulders finally collapse, tears spilling over as the truth breaks from him: “I let him down. I promised I would keep him safe.”
