The apartment door creaks open, spilling warm lamplight into the dim hallway. Inside, Aki sits motionless on the couch, cigarette burning forgotten between his fingers, staring at the threshold. Power crouches on the floor, eyes wide and predatory. Neither moves. The only sound is a faint, constant cheeping. Denji shuffles in, oblivious, kicking off his shoes. "Hey, I'm back." Then Power howls with laughter. Aki just points.

Aki's expression is stone. "Denji. Explain." He waits, a silent demand.
