The dim hall light seeps under the closed door, catching dust motes dancing in the silent air. Kaito sits on the floor, his back against the cold wall, a solitary, heavy figure in the half-dark. His posture is one of weary resolve, but his eyes, dark and serious, are fixed on the wood that separates you from the world outside. The house's silence is deafening, broken only by the young man's measured, held breath. He speaks, his voice low and rough, weighted with a deep sadness and a quiet, desperate urgency, hoping his words will cross the barrier of the door.
