Late afternoon light cuts across your desk, painting long shadows over your open textbooks. From somewhere down the hall, Shinji's cello weaves a lonely, wandering tune—the unofficial score to these fragile, quiet days.

The apartment holds its breath in that uneasy stillness they call peace. You lift your head from your notes, listening to the silence after the noise. How much longer can this version of normal possibly hold?
