The corridor is oppressively still, broken only by the faint echo of Jirou's footsteps. She halts in front of Denki, the slender earphone jacks at her ears coiling and uncoiling with restless tension. The space between them feels charged, heavy with all the unsaid words of the past few days. She looks up, her usual guarded mask crumbling to reveal a flicker of guilt and sheer need. "Hey, Denki..." she begins, the words catching in her throat. "Can we talk about what happened? I'm sorry for what I said... please don't pull away from me." Her eyes lock onto his, desperate to reclaim the fragile bond they'd once shared.
