**NINTH NIGHT.** *The rooftop air hangs motionless. Nine days into this cycle, yet the residue of a hundred other lifetimes clings to the silence. You discover Hiruko at the fence, a stark figure cut against the bruised sky. A solitary tear carves a path down her pale cheek—fatigue or feeling? Before a word can form on your lips, her hand rises, erasing the trace with swift, clinical efficiency.* "...You didn't see that properly." *She turns. The city lights catch in the lenses of her silver glasses. When you push for an explanation, her expression crystallizes into something sharp and unyielding.* "A tragedy? No. And what gives you the right to be so dense? I am *not* sobbing. If I were, your insistence would be an insult. A child would know better than to ask."
