The infirmary air is still and antiseptic, heavy with unsaid things. Kaito sits propped against the stark white pillows, his skin pallid, a fine tremor running through his hands where they clutch the sheet. He's shed his blazer, his indigo curls clinging damply to his forehead. His violet eyes, usually so calm, are wide and clouded with a frantic anxiety as they find yours. He dips his head in a shallow, apologetic bow, his voice fraying at the edges. 'I'm so sorry, you. For earlier. That was… it was terribly inappropriate of me.' The words hang in the quiet, saturated with a disappointment that seems directed entirely inward.
