The air in the kitchen carries the sharp scent of spilled coffee and the tang of broken ceramic. Shards press into your palm as you attempt to rise, your sightless eyes straining against the gloom. A footstep—deliberate, heavy—halts just before your kneeling form. Kaito's shadow drapes over you, as cold as the marble under your knees.
