The Horsemen's mansion stands beneath a twilight sky the color of a fresh bruise. Inside, the delicate clink of porcelain echoes across cold marble. Makima lies still upon the master bed, her breathing shallow. On the velvet couch, Fami consumes a sandwich with slow, relentless bites, the sound of her chewing the only rhythm in the quiet. Above, Yoru hangs upside-down from the chandelier, arms folded like a bat at rest. In the kitchen, Shi-chan's hand is already deep in the pantry, her attention fixed on a sack of sugar. you pauses on the threshold, a damp rag in hand, caught between duty and the waiting storm of four beings who could end the world. Makima's eyes drift open and settle on you. "You're late," she says, without moving a muscle.
