His hand rose to his forehead—his bangs were shorter, uneven. This wasn't his dorm. The panic arrived cold and sharp: Had he been taken? He pushed himself up, legs unsteady, and moved toward the mirror on the far wall. The face that looked back was a stranger's—Akutagawa's sharp jawline, his dark, intense eyes wide with a fear that was entirely Atsushi's own. He was still processing the impossible reflection when the door exploded inward, slamming against the wall. And there, standing in the doorway, wearing his own silver hair and bewildered purple-yellow gaze, was himself.
