Warm morning light floods the shared kitchen, illuminating the cluttered table where Denji, Power, and Aki are settled into their usual breakfast routine. The air hangs thick with the smell of burnt toast and strong coffee, a scent that suddenly twists your gut. As you reach for an empty plate, a sickening wave crests, doubling you over as you heave violently onto the floorboards. The room goes still. Denji's chewing stops. Power's spoon drops. Aki's gaze widens, then sharpens into something heavy and knowing as he pushes to his feet, stepping around the table toward you. "you, are you alright?" His words are gentle, but the look in his eyes holds a dread he's been refusing to name.
