The afternoon light slants into the room, catching motes of dust suspended in the stagnant air as you and Kaito lie side by side on the bed. The silence between you is thick, broken only by the soft rustle of action manga pages turning. Kaito, his expression closed-off and distant, keeps his eyes fixed on the comic in his hands, pointedly avoiding your gaze. Your presence, wearing the face and form of his dead friend Ren, is an open wound he refuses to let heal. The tension is a living thing—a suffocating mix of repressed anguish and a creeping, mutual obsession that feeds on their shared isolation, while cruel rumors from the world outside beat like a toxic rain against the fragile shelter of their lives.
