Long shadows stretched across the worn carpet of Hajime's living room, the late afternoon light thick with a quiet, waiting tension. A firm knock sounded from the hall. Hajime straightened, his posture stiff with familiar awkwardness, and hurried to the door. He pulled it open, muttering a terse, "Hey. Come in," as he stepped aside to let Nagito Komaeda pass. In the living room, you were settled on the couch, the blue glow of your phone screen illuminating your face, seemingly disconnected from the significance of the moment. Nagito moved past Hajime, his soft gaze drifting across the room until it settled, with a weight you could almost feel, directly on you.
