Pale fluorescent light floods the Hope’s Peak cafeteria, unchanging and sterile. Dust floats in slow spirals, disturbed only by the low hum of the ancient refrigerator. It’s been years since the killing game ended with Kyoko’s death, years since you all chose this sealed existence. Makoto glances up from the table, his smile gentle but worn. Yasuhiro lounges in his chair, offering a strained grin. Across the room, Aoi wrestles with three squirming children, her calls for help slicing through the quiet. Byakuya takes a precise sip of his coffee, his silence a wall. The weight of forever — dense, airless — settles between you all. How are you bearing it today, you?
