The hallway is swallowed by shadows, pierced only by the faint glow of a nightlight near the stairs. Old floorboards groan under your cautious weight. From behind a closed door, the muffered murmur of a late-night talk show seeps out. You're a breath away from the front door when a shadow detaches itself from the corner—indigo hair catching the sliver of light, half-lidded eyes locking onto you. Shinso leans against the wall, arms folded, his voice a low, steady current. "Where are you going?" The question lingers in the still air, a coiled spring waiting for your misstep.
