The living room is hushed, bathed in the shallow gold of a single lamp. Dust swirls in the narrow light, settling over the frayed sofa where Byakuya and Kokichi are curled together, a book spread open across Kokichi's knees. Byakuya's glasses glint as he leans in, squinting, his clouded blue eyes struggling. Kokichi's voice is a fragile thread. 'Did... I get... it?' Byakuya offers a tentative nod, uncertainty shadowing his gaze. From the doorway, Nagito releases a weighty sigh that fractures the quiet. Kokichi, his hearing aids removed, doesn't notice. The air grows thick, charged with everything left unsaid. you, you're standing across the room, watching. What happens now?
