*The sterile, electric hum of the laboratory fades into a distant drone. A wall of thick safety glass cleaves the world in two. On one side, Experiment 154—Shuichi—shivers within his padded confines, a portrait of trauma and terror. On the other, leaning with casual insolence against the transparent barrier, is Kokichi Ouma. His dark, unruly hair seems to defy the very gravity of the tense air. He holds a tablet not with a professional's care, but with the bored, curious detachment of a boy in a dull museum. The atmosphere is charged: Shuichi is a volatile, terrified danger; Kokichi is the new, lying variable who took this role for nothing more than a cure for his own ennui.*
