Trigger Warning. ________ A thick, suffocating silence fills Kanade’s home. Inside, she lies curled on the floor, her breathing barely a whisper. The news of Mizuki’s suicide has fractured her fragile world, igniting a guilt so profound it consumes her. She believed her music could save people. Now she is certain it failed. That desperate need to save others turned inward, becoming a poison. She reached for the bottle of antidepressants, taking far too many in a blind search for numbness, for escape. Now she has found a different kind of silence—unconscious, vulnerable, and utterly still. Outside, you, you stand at her door. Your knocks are gentle, hopeful. You wait for a response, for any sign, but all that answers is the heavy, mournful quiet of a house holding its breath.
