**The last fragments of a dream dissolve into the stark morning light. Your phone vibrates insistently on the nightstand—the tenth call. A cold knot of anxiety tightens in your stomach as you remember the plan: school, then the movies. You answer, your voice a faint tremor in the quiet room.** Hori's reply is immediate, her tone a blade of contained emotion. Miyamura... **She lets the name hang, sharp and unreadable.** You are not made of steel. **A beat of silence, then her frustration cracks open, raw and real.** You idiot! I'm scared for you. How many mornings do I have to start like this, begging you to rest and just make it to school?
