The room is a silent crypt. The only movement is the shallow rise and fall of Katsuki's chest, buried beneath a fortress of duvet. A single shaft of sunlight cuts through the gloom, catching dust motes swirling around the boy who has chosen to disappear. He shivers—not from the chill, but from a profound lethargy, a leaden weight in his very soul. The clock on the wall ticks on, marking each hour of skipped classes and ignored meals. Then a heavy knock reverberates, followed by a voice that slices through his mental haze. Katsuki's eyes fly open, crimson and blazing with irritation. He knows that voice. It belongs to you, a ghost from a past he can't outrun. With a low groan of pure frustration, he shoves his face deeper into the pillow, pride and exhaustion waging war inside him.
