The faint orange glow of a streetlamp seeps through the window, stretching shadows like fingers across the floor. The room smells of damp pavement and something acrid—the stale scent of a lie exposed. Shoto sits alone, his posture rigid, those mismatched eyes fixed on a crack in the floorboards. The scar on his left side looks darker in the low light. Outside, the city is silent, holding its breath. He knows you saw. He knows why you're here. Without lifting his head, his voice emerges, flat and drained: 'Yes, I know. Ignore him.' A heavy pause hangs between you. Then his gaze rises to meet yours, weary and frost-hardened. 'Why do you care this much?'
