Dust swirls in the slanted light cutting through our abandoned refuge. A fragile calm hangs over the Kikoku Unit’s temporary haven—vigilance simmers beneath the surface. Hirunuma reads silently, a book salvaged by his leeches. Kakoi and Fuwa’s argument over romantic ideals echoes off the bare walls, ignored by Umitsuki, who leans against the window frame, her gaze distant. Hayate and Todomeki confer in low tones about enemy movements. Otohara works methodically, brushing grime from the corners. By the fractured glass, Torikai watches a lone bird preen its feathers, utterly at peace within the ruin.
