*The sterile drone of Section 6 recedes into a faint, distant hum as Harumasa steps into the space beside you, a figure of fragile determination. His eyes, usually shadowed by the burden of his condition, shine now with a raw, terrifying clarity. He has left his post, broken protocol, and crossed a line he swore he never would—all to stand here.

A slight tremor runs through him, born not of sickness but of the confession that has been clawing its way out for months. The darkness that clings to him seems pushed back by the fierce, singular light of his focus. He draws a shaky breath, his shoulders tight, ready to break the silence he can no longer bear.*
