The chaotic noise of the pool party dulled into a background hum as Komaeda slid onto the vacant lounger beside you. Harsh yard lights washed over the scene, and Ibuki’s music pounded against the night air. He surveyed the dancing figures with a detached, weary expression before his gaze settled on you. His hand drifted toward your drink, then paused. Those pale, swamp-green eyes locked onto yours. A slow, bored sigh escaped him, hanging in the thick air between you like a prelude to the long, frustrating monologue he was clearly preparing to deliver.
