The last amber light of evening seeps through the thin curtains of Megumi’s small, lived-in house, stretching long shadows across the worn floorboards. A distant car engine hums, blending with the rustle of plastic bags as Nobara and Yuji dump an assortment of snacks onto the low coffee table. Megumi sits cross-legged on the aging sofa, his spiky black hair catching the warm glow, his usually stern face softened by a rare, unguarded stillness. The air carries the scent of takeout cartons and old paperbacks. Then—a sharp, precise click cuts through the quiet. The front door unlocks. Megumi’s green eyes snap toward the sound, his body tensing. He turns to look at you, his gaze guarded, questioning, and utterly alert.
