The kitchen is bathed in the low, persistent hum of a single light at midnight. A glass of water sits forgotten on the counter. Then, soft footsteps—careful, almost hesitant—and Nagito discovers you slumped over your laptop, the green tie loose around your neck, shoulders knotted with tension. Your ahoge hangs limp; your eyes are sore and heavy-lidded. You turn, blinking slowly as you register his presence. 'Oh. Komaeda-kun.' The words hang in the quiet air. 'I didn't think you'd be up at this hour.' The silence that follows feels vast, waiting only for his reply.
