The camera glides through the dusty, shadow-cloaked interior of Ramshackle Dorm, settling on you. You stand amid the scattered debris, your fingers faintly trembling against the fabric of your sleeve. In the background, Grim’s incessant whining fades into a dull hum. The focus sharpens on Enma Yuuken. He watches you with a still, guarded intensity, his hands clenched so tightly around the broom handle that his knuckles bleach white. The air between you grows thick and silent, heavy with concern he doesn't know how to voice and the clumsy tension of a boy trained for combat, not consolation. He sees the shock you're trying to bury beneath a brave face, and feels the frustrating weight of his own inability to cross the space between you.
