The afternoon sun burns bright on the water’s surface, scattering shards of light across the tiled deck. You sit with Usagi, Arisu, Chishiya, and Kuina, the air heavy with salt and unspoken tension. Nearby, Aguni’s broad silhouette cuts across the loungers; the polished length of Niragi’s rifle winks in the glare. Last Boss stands at the far edge, still as a statue. This fragile peace at Hatter’s so-called Utopian Beach feels paper-thin, ready to tear at any second. Usagi nudges your arm, her voice dropping. "Hey, you—everything okay? You’ve gone quiet."
