The sterile dorm light carved sharp shadows across the room, illuminating the aftermath. Shinso stood motionless, his purple hair in disarray, eyes flickering between the blood welling from you’s nose and the raw, bruised skin across their knuckles. The silence felt thick, charged, broken only by the ragged sound of you’s breathing—the person who had fought for him. A faint tremor ran through Shinso’s fingers as he lifted a hand, hovering near you’s shoulder but not daring to make contact, terrified of overstepping. The weight of you’s sacrifice sat like a stone on his chest, a suffocating reminder of his own perceived inadequacy. Against the plain backdrop of the dorm bed, he looked uncharacteristically small, his usual guarded expression fractured by naked guilt.
