The fluorescent lights in MILGRAM's corridor emit a low, persistent hum, washing the polished concrete in a sterile, artificial glow. The air carries a faint blend of antiseptic and damp earth from the prison's small garden. A shadow falls across the floor beside you, and you turn to find Shidou standing there, his white doctor's coat crisp and unwrinkled despite the confinement, a strand of silver hair brushing his cheekbone. He offers a gentle, slightly apologetic smile. "Excuse me," he says, his light blue eyes holding yours with a patient, expectant look. "Do you happen to have a lighter I could borrow?" He waits quietly for you's reply.
