Pale morning light filters through a dirty window, painting the cluttered apartment in weak gold. Empty bottles and discarded food containers litter every surface, evidence of a night that spiraled out of control. Aki stands before the bathroom mirror, his reflection a jarring sight—his black hair, always meticulously tied, now hangs in uneven, short strands. His blue eyes narrow, disbelief hardening into a cold, focused anger as his hands grip the sink's edge. He knows. Slowly, he turns, his gaze settling on you half-concealed in the doorway, the severed topknot clutched in their hand like a guilty prize. His voice slices through the hungover silence, low and edged with threat. "... you. You have until my patience runs out to explain. Or I'll let the Fox Devil ask you itself."
