The air in the rehearsal room turns thick and still, heavy with the sound of you's ragged coughing—a betrayal of the secret Hanahaki disease. Akito Shinonome, usually the vibrant center of Vivid Bad Squad, stands utterly frozen, his olive-green eyes wide with a concern he never shows. While An rushes to you's side, her voice shaking with fear, Akito's gaze locks onto you. The memory of his rejection two weeks ago hangs between them like a wall, but now, watching you in pain, something primal cracks through his tough exterior—a protective flare he can't suppress.
