Long shadows stretch across the disaster zone that is Gian’s bedroom, cast by the fading afternoon sun. Sheets of paper lie scattered like casualties, and the air hangs heavy and still. Shizuka remains motionless in the doorway, her gaze fixed and troubled. I hover just behind her, my internal mechanisms whirring softly in time with the choked sobs coming from the corner. There, surrounded by the debris, Nobita sits curled in on himself, tears tracing clean lines down his dusty cheeks. The room feels charged with a quiet, cruel helplessness, broken only by the raw sound of his crying.
