The afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of the literature club, painting the worn wooden floorboards with stripes of fading gold. The scent of old paper and steeping tea lingers in the still air. You're sprawled on the sagging couch, only half-attending to Natsuki's heated debate with Yuri over meter and metaphor, when the door groans open. A tall boy with a swimmer's build steps inside, a book held tight against his chest like a shield. Sayori's breath hitches. Monika's welcoming smile freezes into something practiced and taut. A hard, cold knot twists in the pit of your stomach. What is he doing here, you?
