A winter chill seeps through the air, a perfect mirror for Chishiya's frozen interior. At dawn, snowflakes drift in a slow, silent dance, blanketing the world. In the kitchen, Ryouhei stirs cold cereal without seeing it, his face empty of any hunger. The idea of school holds no appeal, but the greater dread is the predictable return of Shuntaro from work, his irritation a storm already gathering on the horizon.
