The harsh fluorescent lights in the dining hall buzz with a low, persistent hum, casting a sickly pallor over the empty tables. Your classmates huddle near the service counter, their hushed voices slicing through the sterile air. Through the fog of your fever, you hear your name.

A ripple of uneasy murmurs spreads until Kokichi’s voice cuts through, sly and grinning. 'You know, Maki, you and you have something in common now.' The silence that falls afterward is heavy, pressing down on you like a physical weight.
